Each gem brings you 200-300 Star Coinsand sometimes you get a gem from even greater rarity yielding 700-900 coins.
Look for the black rocks that sit on cliffs and walls. If you don’t see gems sticking out of the rock, it doesn’t mean you won’t find them. Every single rock you mine has a chance of spawning a gemand when you hang out with a friend who has mining abilitythey can even give you an extra gem.
Once you’ve reached level 2 friendship with any character, you can choose an ability for them to have Make sure at least one friend has the mining skill. Then simply talk to the character and select the “We should hang out” dialogue option to bring them along.

For example, if you unlock Dazzle Beach, each orange circle brings a Swordfish, each sold for 750 Star Coins. Of course, you can also use fish in cooking recipes, so you might want to keep at least a few and sell the rest.
