The Emerald is a classic gem that you can mine in Story of Seasons: Friends of Mineral Town. Emeralds can be found even in the early levels of the Lake Mine, making them one of the easier minerals to get for gifting and selling.

How To Get Emeralds

Gems can only be found by breaking rocks with your Hammer. Just keep digging until you finally find an Emerald!

Upgrading the Hammer to the Cursed/Blessed or Mythic level can allow you to charge it and simultaneously break all the boulders on the map, saving you a lot of time.

Remember that you can only access the Lake Mine during Winter, when Kappa’s lake freezes over. In later stages of the game, though, you can find a Travel Stone on Level 255 of the Spring Mine which allows you to instantly teleport anywhere in Mineral Town.

Selling Emeralds

Emeralds can be sold to either Zack or Huang for 80 G.

To sell your Emerald to Zack, simply drop your gems into the Shipping Bin and wait for him to pick them up at 5:00 PM every day.

Selling your Emerald via the Shipping Bin will count towards the list of shippable items you need to achieve for full completion.

This is important because shipping all possible items is a requirement for marrying either Kappa or the Harvest Goddess. You can track your progress by checking the Shipping List on your bookshelf.
