Gems and crystals bring a touch of sparkle and allure to the everyday life of a virtual farmer in Stardew Valley. Among the various gemstones found in the game, Diamonds stand out as exceptionally rare and valuable treasures. They make a fantastic gift for the villagers since every NPC either likes or loves Diamonds, and they are also essential components in several crafting recipes.
Diamonds in Stardew Valley have a base sell price of 750 gold but can be sold for as high as 974 gold with the Gemologist Profession. Since they generate the most profitable revenue, Diamonds are the best gem to duplicate in the Crystalarium.
Diamond Nodes

Diamond Nodes can be commonly found on levels 50 and beyond in the Mines. They are also available in the Skull Cavern, Quarry Mines, and the Volcano Dungeon. Players can get Diamonds by breaking diamond nodes with a Pickaxe.
There is a one in five hundred chance of a Diamond Node appearing in place of a stone. This frequency increases for each floor after Level 50.
Gem Nodes
Gem Nodes are available on any floor of the Mines. They contain various valuable gemstones such as Amethyst, Aquamarine, Topaz, Emerald, Jade, Ruby, and Diamond. The chances for Gem Nodes to appear are very slim but can be increased by the player’s Mining Skill Level and Daily Luck.
Monster Drops
Diamonds can also be obtained from any Monster drops, once players have reached the deepest levels of the Mines. Before that, players can get Diamonds by killing the following monsters:
- Red, Purple, Copper or Iron Slimes – 0.05% chance
- Dwarvish Sentry – 10% chance
- Duggies have – 1% chance
- Wilderness Golem – 0.1% chance
Once a player has reached the bottom of the Mines, they may be able to find Diamonds in Garbage Cans around Town.
Fish Pond Quests
When the population of an Ice Pip or Stonefish Fish Pond reaches nine, there is a 0.8% chance for each to produce a Diamond.
Fishing Treasure Chests
There is a 4-5% chance for players to find one to two Diamonds hidden inside Fishing Treasure Chests. However, players must have Fishing Level 2+.
Panning
A Copper Pan can be used to gather ores and precious gemstones from different water bodies. Players have a two percent chance of obtaining a Diamond by panning. The chances can be increased depending on the player’s daily luck and food buffs.
The Statue of Endless Fortune
Being one of the most expensive pieces of furniture that can be purchased in Stardew Valley, The Statue of Endless Fortune costs a whopping 1,000,000 gold. It produces seven Diamonds every year on the birthdays of the following villagers: Maru, Marnie, Jodi, Evelyn, Gus, Krobus, and Willy.
The Statue has an equal chance of randomly generating either a Diamond, Iridium Bar, Omni Geode, or Gold Bar on days when no one has a birthday in Pelican Town.
Stardew Valley is available now for Android, iOS, PC, PS4, PS5, Switch, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
