I predict this one will expire either Fri 9/18 or Tues 9/22. I already have a Crystal dragon but only 55 Prisms. Either way, not enough time for another one. My SO has 153 prisms so she needs 47 and has a Diamond in Evolution chamber with 19 1/2 hr remaining. So she will have 11 bombs. Clearly not enough if it expires Fri since we avg about 2 parts per bomb (req ~24-25 bombs). Looks like evolving the diamond a second time is the solution for Tues or Expedite second evolve with gold. I have ceased mining for now and will have 23 bombs after my diamond is done tomorrow AM. I guess we will find out Friday.

Here is the data I dug out from the Limited Dragons page for mining dragons.

Crystal  08/21/2015  ?? 18th would be 28 days, 22nd would be 32 days.

Hope this is useful for people mining for this one. Remember you can store a maximum of 25 bombs in the mine. If you are evolving something with will exceed this value and release it you will forfeit any surplus in excess of 25 bombs. I plan to finalize my diamond, evolve an 8 hr dragon and then evolve my second diamond between tomorrow and Sat and leave it until crystal expires. Then rapidly bomb 11 on new dragon and release diamond. That will leave me essentially 36 bombs as a head start for the next dragon.
