The Ether Mine is equally as large as, if not larger than, the Colony 9 region- and really is a region to itself, containing multiple areas each with more than one floor. Accordingly, it’s Collectapaedia page is the largest you’ve seen yet.

Even if you do lurk in the initial tunnels for some time and finish up by going to Moss Lake, don’t expect to complete the whole page before moving on to the larger caverns of the mine. Don’t worry about it either- while the Ether Gems are nice, the most powerful one (Bleed Defence) covers something you’re not often worried about, and the Page Reward, while interesting, is not the best weapon to have for Reyn that you can get right now. Most of the rewards here are specialized, only the Muscle Up gem being worth a lot of interest, though a case could be made for Shulk wanting that Back Atk Plus gem rather badly.
