# Mining: Plooshy Crystals & Gems

**Plooshy Gems**

Plooshy Gems can be eroded by **Plooshy Crystals** found in homeowners' gardens.

**Plooshy Crystals**

Plooshy Crystals can be spawned in the player's garden in front of the house. Other players can try to mine **Plooshy Crystals** for a fee in the form of **Plooshy Points (PP)** set by the house owner.

**Plooshy Crystals** may be collected by completing quick-time events, using special equipment to extract these rare and precious materials, which can be used for various purposes, including leveling up their **Plooshy** character and selling them for additional **Plooshy Points (PP)**.

The mining process thereby consumes stamina, reflecting the physical exertion required to extract resources from the earth.
