[[File:Sacred clay pickaxe detail.png|left|100px]]The '''Sacred clay pickaxe''' is obtained from the [[Proto tool|Morphic tool]] (costing 20 [[Stealing Creation]] points). It is the 8th [[pickaxe]] released in the game, the one before it being the [[Inferno adze]]. This [[pickaxe]] gives double experience while [[mining]].

Starting at 100% charge, its charge decreases as experience for using it is given. At 0% charge, the pickaxe crumbles to dust (dust being no item). It can be reverted back to a [[proto tool|morphic tool]] without losing any charge and then changed into any morphic item (this loses no charge).

Sacred clay pickaxe mines at the same speed as [[Rune pickaxe]] or [[Inferno adze]].

* When you mine Sandstone or Granite how much experience is received depends on which amount (1 kg, 2 kg, 5 kg or 10 kg for Sandstone and 500g, 2 kg or 5 kg for Granite) you mine.
While using it inside the [[Lava Flow Mine]], double XP is gained as well. The normal amount of xp obtained in the LFM, is 100 when using the 50% flow rate segments.

When ores are mined with a Sacred Clay Pickaxe, the experience gained is doubled, with a few exceptions(see below)

*[[Daeyalt ore|Daeyalt]], [[Elemental ore|Elemental]], Lunar ore and [['Perfect' gold ore]] can be mined but give no experience bonuses.
*[[Rubium]] cannot be mined with the Sacred clay pickaxe.
*If you get no bonus experience, this does not count as a "use" of the pickaxe - no charge is used up.
*Using a Sacred Clay Pickaxe in a Clan Citadel does not yield any bonus experience.[[File:SCP Mining.png|thumb|A player mining for Coal using a Sacred Clay Pickaxe.]]

==Trivia==
* At one time, you would get no bonus experience when having a [[Rune pickaxe]] in your inventory. You would not mine with the Sacred clay pickaxe but with your rune pickaxe.
* On the day of its release it could not auto mine [[pure essence]], requiring the user to repeatedly click the essence.
*Since December, Jagex has changed its bonus exp, giving in total double exp per ore.
*At one time, the pickaxe, along with all morphic/volatile tools, would not degrade with each use, but degrade with each morph. They would have 10 charges.
* Some players believe that it is good mining experience to mine [[Shooting Star|shooting stars]] with the sacred pickaxe. In fact, when using a morphic tool on a shooting star, you gain a total of 16530 experience before your pickaxe crumbles.
*The pickaxe itself has two separate heads, in relation to the normal pickaxe having a single head.
*When used in conjunction with a filled or partially filled [[Penance horn|Penance Horn]], a player will earn 3x the experience that they normally would, while both the pickaxe and horn drain at their respective rate.
*When wearing [[Varrock armour]], when you mine two ores at once the first ore you receive gives the double experience, the second gives the regular amount of experience.
*On the few days after its release, it displayed no animation while mining and had the same strength as a [[Bronze pickaxe]]. This was quickly fixed.
