Green Zone

There’s one spot early in the Green Zone where you can find Red Gem deposits. Head to the coordinates 35.6 latitude and 36.1 longitude. As you get closer, you have to climb a cliff. There are a few metal spikes coming out of the rocks above that you can use as a landmark. Behind one of the rocks, there’s a formation of Red and Green Gems.

Blue Zone

In the Blue Zone, head to 40.2 latitude and 68.4 longitude. There’s a giant white crystal formation on the cliff, and underneath the cliff, you can find a rich Red Gem deposit. The second location is on the east side of the map at 33.6 latitude and 74.7 longitude. There’s a bunch of Blue Gems in the area, too, in case you need them.

Red Zone

The rest of the Red Gems are in the Red Zone of the Aberration map, which is the most dangerous place you can venture to, filled with Rock Drakes and other dinos. A lot of Red Gems spawn near the giant red crystals, so while you’re traveling to the coordinates below, make sure to explore nearby areas for extra resources.

Near the big red crystals at 64.8 latitude and 33.6 longitude, there’s one of the richest Red Gem spots on the western side of the map. Head to the left side of the nearby waterfall and follow the path up. From there, you can head to 67.8 latitude and 36.6 longitude or 63.7 latitude and 46.9 longitude.

There are more Red Gems on the southeast side of the map. You can start at 65.3 latitude and 76 longitude and then go down the cliff on the right side to reach 67.8 latitude and 72.8 longitude. The area around these coordinates is filled with red crystals you can mine.
