Living minerals are mined from dead Living Rock Creatures in the Living Rock Caverns. When the creatures die, they leave behind Living rock remains which can be mined. Minerals from a creature another player has defeated can only be mined after a minute has passed since the creature's death.

• Living rock protector, level 92
• Living rock striker, level 92
• Living rock patriarch, level 95

They require level 73 Mining to mine and give 5-24 stackable Living minerals and 25 Mining experience. The most common range is 7-15 Living Minerals with anything above or below being uncommon or rare.

Living minerals are used as bait along with a Fishing Rod and 90 fishing to fish for Raw rocktail. Rocktail fishing spots are only found in the Living Rock Caverns.
