Tears of the Kingdom: how to get gemstones. locations

Topaz and rubies have two fixed spawn locations each, whereas sapphires and diamonds seem to lack fixed spawn locations. Judging from the statistics of gems appearing in rare ore deposits, they seem to appear in the following order: flint, amber, opal, topaz and ruby(same rate), sapphire, diamond. It appears that sapphires and diamonds were deliberately set as particularly rare gems from the game development stage.

 

Furthermore, when collecting gems by mining rare ore deposits, the Cobble Crusher and Giant Crusher reduce the chances of obtaining ambers and flints. As a result, diamonds and sapphires appear more frequently.
