Gem mining in InZoi: The Island Getaway isn’t just a side distraction — it’s a valuable activity that combines gathering, crafting, and progression. Whether you’re refining gems into jewelry, selling them at market stands, or enjoying a relaxing island pastime, gem mining is an essential part of Cahaya’s gameplay loop
How to Get a Pickaxe in InZoi
Before you can dig into the island’s treasures, you’ll need a pickaxe.
- Where to Buy: Head to the Farm Store in Cahaya, located in the bottom-right area of the map. You’ll find Stone, Copper, and Steel Pickaxes displayed for purchase. All three work for mining, so start with what you can afford.
- Crafting Option: If you prefer making your own tools, place a Crafting Table (purchasable in Build Mode) and craft a pickaxe from there.
Best Locations to Mine Gems in InZoi
Once you have your pickaxe, the next step is finding the right locations. You can mine at several spots around Cahaya:
- Xiang Park – one of the most reliable gem mining areas.
- Bliss Garden – a peaceful spot that often yields gemstones.
- Cahaya Farmland – wide open spaces with multiple rocky outcrops.
- Harang River Park – a scenic mining area near the water.
Most non-residential grassy areas have Mining Spots. Look for rocky or glowing patches on the ground, interact, and select “Mine with Tools” to begin. Mining spots respawn quickly, so you can rotate between parks to keep resources flowing.
How Gem Mining Works in InZoi
Mining is straightforward but rewarding once you know the flow:
- Approach a Mining Spot and interact with it.
- Select the “Mine with Tools” option.
- Your Zoi swings the pickaxe and collects resources into your inventory.
You can mine with bare hands, but pickaxes give you better yield and speed. Each successful attempt also boosts your Gathering Skill, which makes you more efficient over time.
What Gems and Materials You Can Find in InZoi
Mining spots produce a mix of raw resources and precious items, including:
- Common Materials: Rocks, Iron, Silver.
- Gemstones: Sodalite and other rare gems.
- Crafting Materials: Minerals that can be refined or used directly in tool creation.
With the v0.3.0 update, you can refine raw gems into polished jewels and use them in crafting. In Character Studio, you can also convert gemstones into decorative accessories for your Zoi.
How to Use Gems in InZoi: Crafting and Selling
After gathering resources, here’s how you can make the most of them:
- Crafting: Use a Crafting Table to refine raw gems into polished jewels or to craft tools.
- Family Collection Log: Everything you mine is automatically logged in your Family Collection Log (accessible via the book icon on the right side of your screen). Completing sets here unlocks exclusive rewards like furniture and decorative items.
- Selling: Sell your gems at Market Stands that you set up around the island or visit the Resale Store for quick sales. Prices change daily, so check before you sell.
You can also use the in-game Budget App to track your mining income and expenses as you scale up your runs.
Extra Tips for Efficient Gem Mining
- Invest in a Stone, Copper, or Steel Pickaxe early.
- Rotate between multiple mining areas for steady resources.
- Keep an eye on your Family Collection Log to claim hidden rewards.
- Rent boats to reach more distant spots quickly.
- During Heavy Rain disasters in Cahaya, cars can’t be driven, so plan to mine on foot or by boat when storms strike.
