Rock Values... Help Me Fill in Holes in the Chart

Hello there!  I'm here today to challenge assumptions about what rock is most profitable to mine.
When I was a newby miner, as opposed to the relative newby miner I am today, I was told sparkly was the way to go.  But sparkly is harder to find!  So I set out to find if mining in  groups can make other rocks pay.

Sweeping assumptions made:
-All miners have the highest mining skill and best pick
-Profit is based off selling to a special tool vendor giving 80%
How You Can Help Me Help You
The info I need to calculate the profit per 7 energy is the average # of rocks mined in one go.
For each rock type, with one person, 2 people, 3 people, etc.
I'm not too concerned with metal or dullite... they are too low to really be in the running for the most valuable rock.  So please help me find these values for sparkly and beryl in particular!

  • I did this a while ago but i seem to have deleted the data. IIRC, one mining action for sparkly averaged 48 currants, and for dullite 42 currants (value, not vendor). The yield is definitely a little lower with sparkly but the higher price makes up for it.

  • I'll do some mining later and I'll post my data.
    Let me start helping you by pointing that you want to "fill holes" in your chart.

    I'm really embarrassed... I'm not "that internet person" with awful grammar.  At least I didn't think I was.  That person has always really annoyed me.
