Emerald is a valuable gem from The Mines and the Volcano Dungeon. It is worth a third of a Diamond, yet it earns almost as well per day in a Crystalarium. At the Forge it makes a melee weapon swing faster. Clint, the Dwarf, Emily and Penny love it, and most of the town likes it. Emily's Rock Rejuvenation order, several Fish Ponds and the Help Wanted board all ask for it. The Desert Trader also takes one in exchange for Cheese.
The in-game description reads: A precious stone with a brilliant green color.
Location
Emerald Nodes and Gem Nodes in The Mines give Emeralds when broken with a pickaxe.
In the Volcano Dungeon, a slain Dwarvish Sentry has a one in ten chance to drop an Emerald. Panning and Fishing Treasure Chests can give one as well. Once the bottom of The Mines has been reached, the Garbage Cans in town may hold one now and then.
Villagers can give an Emerald as their gift at the Feast of the Winter Star. The Statue Of Endless Fortune produces one on the birthdays of Clint, Emily and Penny.
Prices
Emerald sells for the same price as a Ruby, a third of a Diamond. The Gemologist profession at Mining level 10 adds thirty percent, as it does for every gem and mineral.
A Crystalarium copy takes a little over two days. That earns about 120g a day per machine, which ties with Ruby and Jade and sits just behind Diamond. For a player still short of Diamonds, Emerald is one of the strongest gems to load into a Crystalarium. It also turns out loved gifts for four villagers on a steady schedule.
Uses
At the Forge in the Volcano Dungeon, Emerald raises the speed of a melee weapon. A faster weapon lands more hits in the same time. A weapon can be forged up to three times, so three Emeralds give the full speed bonus.
Emily asks for an Emerald, among other gems, in her Rock Rejuvenation special order on the board outside Mayor Lewis' house. Completing that order teaches the Sewing Machine recipe, so the farm can have one of its own.
The Help Wanted board outside Pierre's General Store can request an Emerald, but only after floor 80 of The Mines has been reached. Octopus, Rainbow Trout, Spook Fish and Super Cucumber ponds can ask for two Emeralds before they grow from five fish to seven.
On Fridays, the Desert Trader in the Calico Desert gives one Cheese for one Emerald.
Emerald is also one of the gems used in the Gem Birds puzzle on Ginger Island. With the Remixed Bundles, it is an option for the Treasure Hunter's Bundle in the Boiler Room.
Donating the first Emerald to Gunther adds it to the museum's mineral collection. In the Sewing Machine with Cloth, it makes a Shirt. Emily and Haley's house has dye pots, and an Emerald fills the green one.

Notes
Hold back at least one Emerald for Emily's special order and two for each Fish Pond that might ask. A single Emerald Crystalarium covers both needs and still leaves plenty to sell.
