Summary
InDisney Dreamlight Valley, gems are a great source of money and resource. Not only can you sell gems for a hefty amount of Star Coins, but you can use them in crafting recipes. For example, the only way to craft a colorful lamp post is by using the designated gemstone of that color.
Gems come from mining rocks in the game; each biome will have its own set of rocks and gems to find. This list will detail where to find every single gem in the game and what to do with them, whether you should sell them or use them as materials, and for what.
Even if a rock does not visibly show gems, it may still drop some if you break it.
Updated July 23, 2025, by Zoë J. Osik:We’ve updated this guide to reflect new gems added in recent updates, as well as gems found in the A Rift In Time Expansion Pass so you can collect them all! You’ll need gems for quests, crafting, and Star coins, so be sure to have a steady supply on hand.
20Alexandrite
Alexandrite is a pink and green gem found in Eternity Isle in both The Wastes and The Oasis. It’s described as a color-changing gem and sells for 350 Star coins. The gem is used in one of Gaston’s quests and several crafting recipes.
With Alexandrite, you can make the Purple Tea Set, Purple Ancient’s Lamppost, as well as different paths and a Green Bumblestone fence. Freely decorate your village with this unique material and save some for a rainy day to complete future friendship quests.
19Amethyst
Amethyst is a purple gemstone found in the Forgotten Lands and Frosted Heights,they are the more expensive biomes to unlock.A regular Amethyst sells for 500 Star Coins.
The only recipe available for an Amethyst is a Purple Wrought Iron Streetlamp. Unless you plan to make your entire valley purple-themed, it is probably best to sell this gem.
Keep a few on hand for quests, asNala the lionesswill need an Amethyst, as well as a handful of other villagers.
18Aquamarine
Aquamarine can be found in Dazzle Beach or the Forest of Valor. The gemstone sells for 250 Star Coins and has a lot of craftable options. You can create Ariel’s Crafting Table, blue lamp posts, DJ Booth Rig, and the Gem & Opal Road path, among other things.
Most importantly, you need this gem to craft a Mining Training Manual, which allows you to change the assigned role of a villager to Mining. Since it has more options if you use it for crafting, you are better off saving these gemstones for decoration and future quests.
17Blue Zircon
As a shining blue gem, Blue Zircon is stunning. It sells for 500 Star coins given its rarity, so it’s worth selling any extras you come across. However, Blue Zircon is used in several crafting recipes, including paths, lampposts, and fences.
It’s also worth noting that Blue Zircon can be used in Timebending recipes as well, so collecting a supply as you play will be beneficial for decorating your valley how you like. it will take some time to unlock The Lagoon with Mist, but it’s worth the effort.
16Bumblestone
Bumblestone is a golden yellow gem that has a hexagon pattern to it. It’s only found in the Borderlands in Eternity Isle, making it much more difficult to get in bulk. It sells for 400 Star coins, though it’s better to save some in your adventures.
This gem is used in Timebending recipes and quests, and can be used at a Crafting Station to make fences and paths, as well as the Orange Tea Set and Yellow Ancient’s Lamppost. Selling them is a good option, but be sure to keep a few on hand.
15Citrine
Citrine can be found in the Sunlit Plateau and Glade of Trust. These are biomes you must unlock with Dreamlight first. Citrine will look orange-red in color and will sell for 380 Star Coins.
There are only two items you can craft with Citrine. They are two variants of an orange streetlamp, one with one light and the other with three. Once again, unless you are looking to dawn your valley in multiple orange lamps, you are better off selling this gem or saving it for quests.
14Diamond
Diamond can only be found in the Forgotten Lands, the unlockable biome above Sunlit Plateau. A single diamond gem will sell for 600 Star Coins. As usual, you’re able to craft streetlamps with this gemstone that emits white light.
The best thing you can do with diamond, though, is craft an Elegant Gazebo.This is a large structure that adds lots of character to your valley, and you’ll need ten diamonds to create this. If you’re not interested in a gazebo, selling this gem is best.
13Emerald
you may acquire Emerald within the Forest of Valor and Glade of Trust. An Emerald gem can be sold for 325 Star Coins. You get significantly less Star Coins for this than most gemstones.
As usual, the only thing you can craft with Emerald is three variants of a streetlamp, which would emit green light. You are better off saving your Emerald for future quests or favorite gifts.
12Evergem
Evergems are puzzling geometric gems that are orange with a golden glow inside. They can only be found in The Ruins, making them rare. They sell for 300 Star coins, and don’t have many uses outside of crafting a Fireworks Mount.
Additionally, you’ll need three of them to make Rapunzel’s Eternal Sundrop Charm during her level seven Friendship Quest, so it’s a good idea to hold onto a few of them if you find them. Otherwise, unless you love fireworks, this gem can be sold.
11Garnet
Garnet is the most basic, common gem you can get because it spawns in the starter area, the Plaza. You can also find Garnet within the Peaceful Meadow. Garnet is the cheapest gemstone for this reason.
You can only sell a single Garnet for 160 Star Coins. There are only two craftable options for this gem, and both are streetlamps. Garnet is basically pointless for crafting, especially when you can get your money elsewhere, but it is required for certain quests for characters like Mickey Mouse and Mother Gothel.
