Green Gems Needed

Mining for gems is an early and easy way to gain Star Coins in Disney Dreamlight Valley. You also see mining tasks as part of the Dreamlight Duties in Dreamlight Valley or Mist Duties on Eternity Isle. Often these duties zero in on a specific-color or type of gem. Green gems and even more specifically, Emeralds, seem to be a favorite for including as a Star Path Duties. So, to help you along with all the various “Duties”, here is where to find Emeralds in Disney Dreamlight Valley.

Mine more Gems

Mining for Shiny Gems always seems to be time-consuming. Nonetheless, there is one way to help the process along a little.

Head to your favorite crafting station and brew a batch of Miracle Pickaxe Polish. You will find the recipe under Potion & Enchantment.

Once applied to your pickaxe, mining spots that contain gems, are likely to produce extra gems. The Miracle Pickaxe Polish lasts for 10 swings of your pickaxe, sort of. You get a free swing at each mining spot. (see the Pro Tip below for additional information)

Miracle Pickaxe Polish Crafting Recipe: (10 Uses)

  • 10 Vitalys Crystal
  • 5 Onyx
  • 500 Dreamlight

Want the magic to last longer, craft the Even More Miraculous Pickaxe Polish. Although it takes a lot of Dreamlight, this version of the polish gives you 25 swings of the pickaxe, plus 1 free swing at each mining spot.

Even More Miraculous Pickaxe Polish Crafting Recipe: (25 Uses)

  • 20 Vitalys Crystal
  • 10 Onyx
  • 1000 Dreamlight

The extra gems you gain when using the pickaxe polishes help increase the chance of getting the required Shiny Gems. Even so, using a Pickaxe Polish doesn’t guarantee Shiny Gems will fall. Only you can decide if it’s worth using your Dreamlight to craft some, or if you just want to swing away without any polish.

Good Luck!

Pro Tip: Once you apply either pickaxe polish, our tests showed that you get one “free” swing at each Mining Spot. In our experience, it was the last swing. In other words, if it takes 5 swings to break the Mining spot, only 4 of the swings will “use up” some of the pickaxe polish.
