Gemstone Blocks are types of blocks which are naturally generated in the Underground and Cavern layers. When mined, they drop one of their respective gems. They can be mined by any pickaxe or drill, or destroyed by explosives.

On the  PC,  Console,  Mobile, and  tModLoader versions, they can also be crafted at a Heavy Work Bench in the Graveyard Mini-Biome.

Notes

• Gemstone Blocks sell for less than the gems needed to craft them.
• These blocks cannot be obtained by a player, as they are exclusively naturally generated, and mining them will not drop the block. Thus, they cannot be sold.
