Mining issues:

Valorite Ore is hardest to find, Iron Ore the easiest. A miner with a high mining skill is more likely to find a colored ore vein than less skilled miner.
Once a miner discovers a vein of colored ore, that color ore will always spawn at that spot, no matter who goes to dig there.
When a miner reaches the minimum required mining skill and is mining a colored ore vein he has a 50% chance of actually digging up the colored ore.
Over all a miner digs the same amount of ore on all spots, he only gets more or less colored ore depending on his skill.
Mining colored ore seems to improve skill a little faster than normal iron ore.
Smelting colored ore into ingots improves mining skill much faster than doing normal iron ore.
Mining Tools:

A brand new shovel or pickaxe will yield 51 pieces of Ore before it breaks.
Gargoyles and Stone Gargoyles sometimes carry "a gargoyle's pick axe", that says "a large pick axe of ore extraction" when IDed. These pickaxes extract the double amount of ore before they break. These pick axes promote a colored ore vein to the next higher level. A bronze vein will give gold ore, a verite vein will give valorite and so on. This only works on colored ore veins and does not permanently change the type of vein. There is a possibility that an Ore Elemental will spawn. Miners beware, these monsters are extremely tough.
High quality mining tools, such as the sturdy pickaxe, sturdy shovel and gargoyle's pick axe can be obtained by blacksmiths turning in a completed Bulk Order Deed. Sturdy digging tools yield 153 pieces of Ore before breaking.
Smithing issues:

A smith cannot use the colored ingots unless he has the required skill for that color.
If a smith has the minimum skill requirement for a color, the success on smithing seems the same, even on exceptional quality plate chests.
Only metal armour and shields can be made in color, not weapons.
Smithing colors advances your smithing skill at a normal rate.
Miscellaneous:

As most newbie smiths have a lower smithing than mining skill they will often want to sell or exchange the easy colors, so the supply up to gold or agapite should be pretty good.
Tinkering works the same on normal and colored ingots, the result is the same.

Mining for Quality Stone and Glass-Quality Sand

To learn how to mine for stone a GM Miner must read the book"Mining for Quality Stone"
To learn how to mine for glass a GM Miner must read the book "Find Glass-Quality Sand"
These skills do not cost any skill points, and have no effect on the skill cap
Both books can be bought from Gargoyle Shopkeepers
Each book costs about 10,000 gold
The books will be destroyed after it has been read by a GM Miner
You can use both books on the same miner, reading the second one will not make you forget the first one
Miners that have learned how to mine for glass and/or stone will still be able to mine regular ore
A handy method to switch between digging for granite and digging for ore is to left click on pick axe or shovel then set it if you want to dig for granite.

Stone
Granite comes in all different shades, just as ore does
Granite weighs 10 stones
Ore spots have been pseudo-randomized, so expect it to be a little difficult to find things
Miners will continue to mine ore as they mine stones
Granite can be used for Stonecrafting

Sand
Sand can only be found on beaches and along some coast lines
Sand weighs 1 stone and does not stack
There appears to be roughly a 9% chance (9.04 to be more precise) to successfully dig up sand per attempt
The distribution of sand seems to occur in 8x8 resource grids that can be emptied out ("There is no sand here to mine.")
You can expect 6-13 samples per resource grid area (8x8)
Respawn times range from 10-20 minutes.
Sand can be used for Glass blowing
