Esperite is a geode mineral from Frozen Geodes and Omni Geodes. It is one of the cheaper minerals a Frozen Geode can hold, worth less than Aerinite and well under half the price of a Fairy Stone. Its main purpose is a museum donation, where every new mineral counts towards Gunther's rewards. In tailoring it has a more distinctive result than most geode minerals: it makes the Gray Suit at the Sewing Machine. The Wizard likes it as a gift, and nearly everyone else dislikes it.
The in-game description reads: The crystals glow bright green when stimulated.
Location
Esperite only comes from cracking geodes. A Frozen Geode has roughly one chance in thirty of holding it. An Omni Geode can hold it too, but it shares its odds with the minerals of every geode type, so each one is a much weaker chance.
Frozen Geodes drop from rocks on floors 41 to 79 of The Mines, and from rocks on the Farm in Winter. They also appear in Fishing Treasure Chests. A full Ice Pip Fish Pond can produce them. Sebastian sells them for Calico Eggs at the Desert Festival when he runs a booth.
Clint at the Blacksmith opens each geode for 25g. A Geode Crusher does the same at home once Clint's Cave Patrol special order has unlocked its recipe. The odds stay the same on lucky and unlucky days.
Prices
Esperite sells for four times the 25g it costs to crack its geode, so it still turns a small profit. The Mining level 10 profession Gemologist raises the price of every gem and mineral by thirty percent, Esperite included.
A Crystalarium can copy Esperite, but each copy takes about three and a half days. That earns under 30g a day. An Earth Crystal or an Amethyst earns three to four times as much in the same machine, so Esperite is a poor choice for a Crystalarium.
Uses
Donating the first Esperite to Gunther adds it to the museum's mineral collection. Mineral donations unlock rewards at set totals. The first rewards are furniture such as the Standing Geode and the Singing Stone. The Crystal Chair follows at 41 minerals and a Crystalarium at 50.
Putting Esperite and Cloth in the Sewing Machine makes the Gray Suit. Esperite also works as a green dye in the dye pots at Emily and Haley's house.
Gifts
The Wizard likes Esperite. Since it sells for little, gifting spares to him is a fair use for them.
Among those who dislike Esperite are Abigail, Alex, Elliott, Emily, Haley, Harvey, Leah, Maru, Penny, Sam, Sebastian and Shane. So do the Dwarf, Krobus and Sandy. Jas, Leo and Vincent dislike it too. The same goes for the shop owners Clint, Gus, Marnie, Pierre, Robin and Willy, and for the older villagers Caroline, Demetrius, Evelyn, George, Jodi, Kent, Lewis, Linus and Pam.
Anyone after the Gray Suit should keep one spare Esperite after the museum donation. The Sewing Machine uses up the mineral, so the suit needs a second stone.
