Mining is the skill associated with breaking rocks.
During the first few days in Stardew Valley, the mines are closed due to some accident by Joja Corporation. When it is open, mining becomes viable to the player. Each level adds +1 efficiency with the class tool (Pickaxe).
Mining Skill
Mining skill is increased by using the pickaxe tool or bombs to break rocks. Each level adds +1 to pickaxe proficiency.

Tips & Tricks to efficient mining
Mining in the mines is often challenging due to the time and stamina cost required to break rocks. It's easy to forget how time passes in the mines due to not having any visual cues of the outside lighting. Things you should know however:
- A) Going deeper yields more ore
- B) Going deeper gives you better ore
Knowing this, you should know this pattern:
For every level you land on, quickly do a run around of the level to find obvious ores (Things like copper ore and quartz sticks out compared to other rocks).
Then, if you haven't found the stairwell yet, kill all enemies, as some of them will drop the ladder down (Killing enemies yield you with a stamina-free option, even if it takes some time, stamina tends to run out faster than in-game time). If all enemies are dead and you're still looking for a ladder down, start breaking rocks around until you do. If you have a lot of stone in your inventory, it might be worth it to make a staircase if you are short on stamina.
Doing this, you can quickly achieve maximum yield for least effort/Stamina.
The axe, scythe or pickaxe can be used to kill monsters in lieu of the sword, but they are weaker.
Alternately (If you want to skip all the fun) if you have tonnes of profit from farming, stone can be purchased from the Carpenter's Shop for 20g a stone, allowing you to skip all 120 levels for just under a quarter of a million gold. This does however cause you to miss out on tonnes of ore and other loot on the way down (unless you stop for that on each floor) meaning that its not the most efficient solution out there, but it's useful if you want to unlock all the levels in order to return to them at a later date.
Mining Nodes
Mining is done by breaking apart rocks or nodes with your pickaxe; larger rocks in the outside area or higher tier rocks and nodes in The Mines, the Quarry, and Skull Cavern will take more hits or a stronger pickaxe to break.
Nodes
Diamonds begin appearing at level 50 in the mines, at approximately 1 in 500 chance of appearing in place of a stone. For every level after level 50, frequency increases by .000016 per level. This makes for a .0028 chance for diamond to appear in place of a stone at floor 100 (1.2 in 500 or 7 in 2500), and ultimately a .003104 chance for diamond to appear in place of a stone at floor 119 (1.552 in 500 or 194 in 62500).
