Although colored similarly to the gem type they pair with, a gem tree otherwise resembles a very large tree. They tend to have [[leaves]] arranged in broad, shallow patterns different from other tree types.

==Where Found==
==Where Found==
Gem trees only spawn during [[Getting Started|world generation]] (or in unrevealed areas of older [[world]]s opened in 1.6) on [[marble]] [[Floating Island|floating islands]]. They do not grow larger and cannot be planted or relocated.
Gem trees only spawn during [[Getting Started|world generation]] (or in unrevealed areas of older [[world]]s opened in 1.6) on [[marble]] [[Floating Island|floating islands]]. They do not grow larger and cannot be planted or relocated. The rarity of each variety of tree corresponds to the rarity of the gem.


==Use==
==Farming==
Each gem tree will produce "fruit" in the form of gems based on its type. These will spawn every eight years (32 game days). These gems can be [[Harvesting|harvested]] by [[hand]] or by having a [[blockhead]] pass through the space they're in. Such gem "fruit" do not generate [[light]] the way [[Construction#Decoration|placed]] or un[[Mining|mined]] gems do.
Each gem tree will produce the gem of the tree type. These will spawn every eight years (32 game days), with [[Meditate|the usual options]] to speed things up. These gems can be [[Harvesting|harvested]] by [[hand]] or by having a [[blockhead]] pass through the space they're in.


Tree branches can be harvested for [[stick]]s and trunks for [[wood]]. However, the trees will not regrow. If the tree is cut down, gems may also fall.
