Minerals

Four groups

Minerals come from mine floors, nodes, monster drops, fishing treasure, and geodes Clint processes for 25g. A Geode Crusher can open geodes too. From 1.6, a mineral counts toward the collection only after it is donated. There are 53 minerals to donate. Before the first donation, the item text says Gunther can tell you more.

Gemologist adds a higher sell price. The gem table uses the profession prices listed for each stone. The Prismatic Shard page states the profession as +30%, which matches 2,000g becoming 2,600g.

Foraged minerals

These four sit on the ground in the Mines and the Skull Cavern. A normal pickup gives no Foraging experience. The Gatherer profession can double a pickup, and that duplicate gives 7 Foraging experience. Quality stars were removed from foraged minerals in 1.1.

Gems and the Prismatic Shard

Gunther accepts 53 minerals. That set is 4 foraged crystals, 8 gems, and 41 minerals that come out of geodes. Geodes themselves are not donation items.

The Prismatic Shard is one of the eight gems. Its base sell price is 2,000g, and the Gemologist price is 2,600g. Diamond and the Prismatic Shard are the gems that do not come from crates and barrels in the Mines. The other gems can.

Frozen Tear is a loved gift for Sebastian. Amethyst is a loved gift for Abigail. A donated mineral still leaves later copies free to gift or sell.
