What is a mine? Fireworks Facts

Usually starting with a small fountain which helps to build the anticipation for the main effect; the mine will give a sudden eruption at ground level, shooting into the air and normally accompanied by a loud bang. The effect is that of a shower of stars moving upward in an inverted cone.

Probably the best mine pack on the market - The Gold Rush Mines by Standard Fireworks.

Each powerful mine starts off like a fountain and then launches a volley of bright coloured stars.

Effects include whistles, red and blue stars, titanium chrysanthemum, green glitter, and brocade crown.
