Gems can also sometimes be found inside Treasure Chests, as well as dropped by Stone Taluses, Stone Pebblits, and Silver and Golden Enemies. After Pelison moves to Tarrey Town, he will open a stall there that sells a few Gems at a high price.

Gems are most notably used to purchase and craft accessories at the Starlight Memories shop in Gerudo Town. The respective Gem is also used to upgrade these accessories as well.
