Between the mining place as well as the mage training region, there's a guy named Mani, a camel, and a stall full with pickaxes. He will sell pickaxes, and after the quest he will smelt your ores in OSRS gold a low price (and there is a follow up pursuit, where you make him an anvil, he will subsequently smith on for you (at a cost )). Speak to himand instead of asking to see his inventory, ask about an Armanite Bar.
Have you ever been sold a special bar of Armanite recently? Yes! It is a marvel! So rare -- only one source in existence. It is incredibly strong. I'm busy making a prototype Armanite pickaxe. That is all well and good, but I want it. Impossible. I've already started the procedures of producing a pickaxe. You'll never get another pub. You did state there was a source somewhere. Would you not tell me where it is?
I could, but you would need a very strong furnace to smelt it. I have plans for an extreme heat-producing machine. Should you bring me Armanite Ore, and 5 bits of molten glass, I can smelt you a bar. Ok. Speak to him . Speak to him to get more info. It's rumoured that Armanite Ore is actually the flesh of a monster made of ores. Recently, scattered ores have been discovered northwest of Varrock. I would check around there.
Head into the northwest of Varrock. . There will also be a mysterious stone, colored purple. If you begin to mine (45 mining required), it lifts up and it is actually a monster made of stone! (Level 75 Rockbeast). Kill it, and choose the Armanite Ore.. There would be a random fall of either a Steel, Bronze, or Iron bar. Head to cheap RS gold Entrana (or somewhere else), create 5 molten glassand then take it back into mani. Talk to mani.
