Gemstone Crystals

Gemstone Crystals are collectibles obtained from special tasks within the ⏣ Crystal Hollows and also within certain Glacite Mineshafts.

The crystals aren't actual items, but rather achievements that can be tracked in the  Heart of the Mountain menu. To get the rewards from the Crystal Nucleus the player needs to find and place five crystals: Jade, Amber, Amethyst, Sapphire, and Topaz. Any other crystal, such as Ruby and Jasper, is only used to forge Perfect Gemstones. All the crystals are obtained in a different way.

The  Wishing Compass can point to the locations of the Crystals or other important related locations.

Jade

The Jade Crystal is obtained in by finding 4 different Scavenged Items with a  Metal Detector in the ⏣ Mines of Divan. After giving the 4 items to their respective Keepers, the crystal can be taken.

Amber

The Amber Crystal is obtained from the ⏣ Goblin Queen's Den in the ⏣ Goblin Holdout.

In order to obtain it, the player must first get the King's Scent Potion Effect, which is obtained from King Yolkar after giving him  1x Goblin Egg of any color.

After obtaining the King's Scent effect, the Goblin Queen's Den can be entered to obtain the crystal. This effect lasts for 20 minutes, and is lost after obtaining the crystal or entering water.

After giving the parts to him, he will repair the Automaton Prime, and a door will open which reveals the Crystal.

Trivia

• The place where crystals spawn is surrounded by invisible barrier blocks, even if the crystal has not spawned.
• If a player somehow tried to obtain a crystal before they are supposed to (glitching in the ⏣ Jungle Temple, entering the ⏣ Goblin Queen's Den during lag, glitching into Automaton Prime in the ⏣ Lost Precursor City, etc.), they will receive the following chat message: "You haven't earned this Crystal! Come back when you have! >:-)".
• All crystals have an unobtainable item form that can be seen in The Forge when forging Perfect Gemstones.
  • The Jasper Crystal used to drop as an item, and it could be sold on the Auction House. Jasper Crystals obtained before the change can still be traded and auctioned.
• The Jasper and Ruby Crystals in their item forms can be donated to the Museum.
• Without good luck, the Jade Crystal and Sapphire Crystal seem to be the hardest to obtain.
  •  Mole Pet heavily decreases the time it takes to obtain said crystals.
