Some characters such as Irgnir, a female Nord and Fruki, another female Nord, will work in the mine and very often get in the Dragonborn's way.

This is just a way to display progression of replenishment, and is no cause for worry.

During replenish time, the vein may regain its colored striations, but is unable to be mined.

Another possible way of mining faster is using the Elemental Fury shout prior to manually hitting the ore with a pickaxe.

Note that some veins cannot be mined in this manner. It requires as many hits as it would if the vein was activated, but this goes faster and reaction is quicker if attacked.

Mining is also possible by equipping a pickaxe in one hand (or even dual-wielding them with both hands) and then hitting the vein repeatedly.

Similar to corundum and moonstone veins, except contains a shinier quality.ДЄchievements Main article: Achievements (Skyrim) Silver, shiny striations, flecked with black. White or silvery (oddly enough) colored striations. Similar to gold and moonstone veins, except more dull in color.Дeep green striations (similar to Orc skin-color). Vein with reddish-orange, greenish, and white/brown colored striations. Locations specific to each ore are noted on the pages below:Д®ach vein has its own distinctive color and pattern, which disappears after mining is complete, in which case the rock returns to its normal gray color. When a vein is mined completely, it will lose the colored striations associated to that mineral type. Environmental conditions can make it somewhat difficult to spot and identify a minable area. They can be identified as minable by the different colored striations that stand out in the typical grey rocks that dominate the landscape of Skyrim. Ore veins are all across the world of Skyrim from simple mines to the tops of mountains.

There are nine different types of ore that can be mined in Skyrim. Note: If a precious gem (garnet, ruby, etc.) is received on the sixth hit, the message for the gem is displayed, but not the ore.

The sound for receiving an ore still plays on the sixth pickaxe hit, even though a message may not appear. It may seem as though the Dragonborn only receives two ore from each vein because there may only be two messages displayed about ore being received, but three ore are actually received per vein. All ore veins contain three pieces of ore, and possibly some gems.
