Hammer
Allows you to add a new Mineral to the fragment of the board you or another player are about to cut off.
You can also place the Mineral anywhere on the board as long as it will be adjacent to at least two other Minerals.

Shovel
You can use it while cutting off a fragment from the board, but first you have to pay for it with a wollastonite from your pool.
When cutting off more than one fragment of the board you can take any Mineral you like from one of them. You can take only the least valued Mineral from all other cutoff fragments.

Chest
You cannot use it if there are no Minerals left in the pouch.

Sack
The number of Minerals you exchange with each other may be different.

Compass
When using the Compass you do not have to move the required number of hexes, but you do have to move at least 1 hex.
You cannot move onto Crevices or Minerals occupied by other players; you have to stop on an unoccupied Mineral just ahead of either. By using the Compass you can reach the edge of the board.

Vortex
You can use Vortex before or after your move, but not during. With Vortex, you move both your pawn and the Mineral below it.

Rope
