What is the best way to farm Gemstones (Amber, Topaz, Ruby, Sapphire and Diamond)?

1. I've been scanning amiibos like crazy. Not so great for the non-Zelda amiibos, but definitely helpful with the Zelda amiibos.
2. Mark spots on the map where there are gemstone clusters and then I hit them up as soon as a blood moon passes.
3. Don't forget ALL kinds of containers. I may have herped a derp on this one but I only realized a week or 2 ago that the steel containers drop gems, rupees, and ancient tech.
4. Fighting Taluses. They're hard, but they drop a ton of gems.

The places I can recommend are the Faron Regions, Gerudo Highlands and/or Goron City/Death Mountain. I have found 1 or 2 at Akkala as well. I'm currently trying to get some sapphires. If I find good places while sapphire hunting, I'll be sure to tell you. I'm also pretty sure that gemstones don't come back on blood moons. I have found they re-spawn the same as other resources. I've found it is best to mine around Akkala or just find Stone Taluses.

Try going to the top of death mountain. You will find a significant amount of jewels, from flint to diamonds. The jewels you are most likely to get are:

• Rubies
• Sapphires
• Amber
• Opal
• Topaz
• and Flint
