Is it possible to have a turtle interact with a chest on one side, place a ore such as diamond ore on the other and then mine it using fortune 3? I'm asking because I have a quarry that's running silk touch, so i can get redstone ore for cinnabar. But i get all this other ore to that i would have to mine myself with fortune 3 hammer. So im wondering if i can give a turtle fortune 3 pickaxe then have it place whatever ore i specify then mine it, so i can afk and not be stuck doing all the tedious mining?

You could have the turtle place the block and you could break it, but you can not give a turtle a enchanted item.

Turtles can't do this themselves, but you could use them to place the blocks for something else to break. For instance, if you have Tinker's Construct and Thermal Expansion, you could make a Fortune 3 electric pick and set up a system to recharge the pick, and leave it in an autonomous activator when charged, then have the turtle place blocks in front of the autonomous activator.
