Obtaining#

It is one of the random gems, only in the Nether. 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 5, which makes it about 1.1% of random gems in the Nether (before Luck). It drops as Rare–Epic in the Nether.

The Gem Cutting Table raises a gem one rarity at a time, up to Ancient.
