The Yellow Gem is an item used to craft Ancient items. It is required in two main crafting recipes; the Magiluminescence, that emits light, increases movement speed, and provides a Sanity boost when worn, and the Star Caller's Staff, that summons a Dwarf Star that emits light and heat and can be used for cooking food.

Yellow Gems are obtained by mining Ancient Statues, breaking Relics, destroying Broken Clockworks, and opening Ornate Chests.

Downloadable Content

In the Reign of Giants DLC, Yellow Gems have a 0.01% chance to be dropped by Tumbleweeds, making them renewable.

In the Hamlet DLC, there is a very low chance for Yellow Gems to drop by Hammering A Smashing Pot.

Don't Starve Together

In Don't Starve Together, there are additional ways to acquire Yellow Gems:

• The Dragonfly drops 1-2 Yellow Gems upon death.
• Retinazor can be killed every 15 days for a guarenteed Yellow Gem.
• Yellow Gems can be gathered in the Ruins from Cave Holes by using The Lazy Forager. The Ruins can be regenerated by killing the Ancient Fuelweaver, so every time the Ancient Fuelweaver is killed, the player can regenerate new gems.
• The Large Ornate Chest has a chance to contain Yellow Gems each time the Ancient Guardian is killed.
• Sunken Chests have a chance of dropping Yellow Gems when hammered.
• The Malbatross can be killed with a 5% chance to drop a single Yellow gem each time.
• Yellow Gems can be obtained from presents under a Winter's Feast Tree (only during Winter's Feast).
• The Table and Chair Relics have a roughly 0.2% chance to drop Yellow Gems when destroyed.
• Tumbleweeds have a roughly 0.01% chance to drop Yellow Gems when harvested.

In Don't Starve Together, Yellow Gems can be inserted into Cratered Moonrocks to acquire a Yellow Moonlens. They can also be used to power Winona's G.E.M.erator.

Also Yellow Gem can be crafted by Wilson if he got "Transmute Gems Ⅱ"
