It’s easy to see that Red Gems come in quite handy. Besides being a good source of income, they are also resources for crafting items to decorate the Valley or your house. You mine them for various Dreamlight Duties, Mist Duties, Storybook Duties or special event Star Paths, as well.

You can find some red gems in Dreamlight Valley, as mentioned. However, take a trip to Eternity Isle and to Storybook Vale to find them all!

Locations of all Red Gems

Garnet

• Plaza (Dreamlight Valley)
• Peaceful Meadow (Dreamlight Valley)
• The Plains in Glittering Dunes (Eternity Isle)
• The Wastes in Glittering Dunes (Eternity Isle)

Ruby

• Vitalys Mines Sunlit Plateau (Dreamlight Valley)
• The Elysian Fields (Storybook Vale)
• The Fiery Plains (Storybook Vale)
• The Statue’s Shadow (Storybook Vale)

Spinel

• The Gove in Wild Tangle (Eternity Isle)
• The Promenade in Wild Tangle (Eternity Isle)

Frost & Fairies Star Path Duty #52: Mine for red gems requires 10 red gems. This Star Path was released on December 4, 2024, just after The Storybook Vale paid expansion, which added a few new locations for you to mine.

Red Gems are also required to complete the Lovely Monsters Star Path Duty #62: Dig for red gems. And yes, you don’t really ‘dig’ for gems, you mine for them. Still, saying dig adds to the puzzle factor of this particular star path.

In addition, Dapper Delights Star Path Duty #42 Mine for Red Gems has you mining them as well, but only those on Dreamlight Valley count.

• Frost & Fairies Star Path
• Lovely Monsters Star Path

Gain access to Eternity Isle’s Glittering Dunes and Wild Tangle, to reach its’ Red Gems. This is done during Jafar’s quest The Sands in the Hourglass.

The Plains is the first accessible section of Glittering Dunes. You can mine there for Garnets. If you want additional options for mining Garnets, open another section of Glittering Dunes, the one known as The Wastes.

As you approach the entrance to The Wastes, it’s obvious that the path is blocked. It takes 4000 Mist to clear the way.

Spinel is a new red gem found only on Eternity Isle. It’s in 2 different sections of the Wild Tangle, both of which require Mist to open. 4000 Mist clears the entrance to The Grove in Wild Tangle and 6000 Mist provides entry to The Promenade.

For those new to Eternity Isle, there is the complete list of quests required to access the Glittering Dunes and Wild Tangle.

• The Port of Many Worlds – Merlin Quest
• The Secrets of Eternity Isle – Jafar Quest
• The Flying Metal Nuisance – Jafar Quest
• The Sands in the Hourglass – Jafar Quest

Rubies can be found on Storybook Vale as well as Dreamlight Valley.

To reach them, you need to gain access to the large area in the east known as Mythopia. This will require the completion of a couple quests and some Story Magic, which is this island’s new form of “currency”.

Complete these quests:

• Welcome to The Storybook Vale – Merida Quest
• A New Chapter – Merida Quest

Gain Story Magic by completing Story Duties, which show up in the Dreamlight Menu while on Storybook Vale. The amount needed to reach the various sections of Mythopia are as follows:

• The Bind: 500 Story Magic
• The Elysian Fields: 2000 Story Magic
• The Statue’s Shadow (accessed through The Elysian Fields): 5000 Story Magic
