Obtaining#
It is one of the random gems, in every dimension. Random gems drop from hostile mobs killed by a player (8% of kills, 58% for bosses) and appear in chests (25% of vanilla chests, 20% of other chests). Its drop weight is 10, which makes it about 2.2% of random gems in the Overworld, the Nether and the End (before Luck). It drops as Common–Uncommon in the Overworld, Rare–Epic in the Nether, Rare–Mythic in the End and Uncommon–Rare in the Otherside, and as any rarity from Common to Ancient elsewhere.
The Gem Cutting Table raises a gem one rarity at a time, up to Ancient.
