During Merlin’s quest, “With Great Power,” Dreamers are tasked with using three Gems to get through the Mystical Cave in Disney Dreamlight Valley, one of which is Aquamarine. This Gem is also used in a variety of crafting recipes, including the Blue Light High Beach Torch, DJ Booth Rig, and Blue Wrought Iron Streetlamp. Players might also receive a Dreamlight or Star Path Duty that involves mining a certain number of Aquamarine Gems. As there are many activities for which Dreamers require Aquamarine, it is necessary to know where to find and farm this gemstone in the Valley.

Finding Aquamarine in Disney Dreamlight Valley
Aquamarine can be mined from mineral nodes located on the cliffs of Dazzle Beach and the rocky border surrounding the Forest of Valor in Disney Dreamlight Valley. Players will unlock Dazzle Beach relatively early on, as it is the biome where Ursula can be encountered. The Forest of Valor is a biome that requires 3,000 Dreamlight to be accessed.
Aquamarine is guaranteed drop from mineral nodes with blue shards in the Forest of Valor or Dazzle Beach. However, there is also a slight chance that nodes with no gemstone shards yield Aquamarine. The best way to farm Aquamarine is by harvesting every mineral node in the two biomes east of the Peaceful Meadow. Bringing a Villager with the Mining Skill will increase players’ chances of receiving more Aquamarine from a single node. However, bear in mind that this chance is directly related to an NPC’s Friendship Level.
A total of twelve mineral nodes can be found in the Forest of Valor or Dazzle Beach, each biome containing six. A good route would be to start mining the three nodes on the south side of Dazzle Beach. Next, fast travel to the Wishing Well, placed on the eastern shores, and mine the nodes there. Enter the Forest of Valor and mine the nodes at the bottom and near the biome’s top-right corner. Finally, a Wishing Well should be placed in the northern corner of the forest to easily access the three mineral nodes at the top. Repeat this process after the nodes have refreshed to continue farming for Aquamarine in Disney Dreamlight Valley.
Remember to be aware of all the gems that appear in the node drop, because you can get Aquamarine or Shiny Aquamarine. All gems have a Shiny version, and in some missions, you will need one or the other specifically.
