Fairy Stone is a geode mineral from Frozen Geodes and Omni Geodes. It is one of the most valuable minerals a Frozen Geode can hold, worth twice as much as Aerinite and more than Ghost Crystal or Fluorapatite. Its first job is a museum donation, where every new mineral moves Gunther's collection towards its next reward. Spares sell well for a geode mineral, or go into a Shirt or a purple dye. The Wizard likes it, but the rest of the town dislikes it.
The in-game description reads: An old miner's song suggests these are made from the bones of ancient fairies.
Location
Fairy Stone only comes from geodes. A Frozen Geode has roughly one chance in thirty of holding it. An Omni Geode can hold it as well, but its odds are spread across the minerals of every geode type, so each one is a far weaker chance.
Frozen Geodes drop from rocks on floors 41 to 79 of The Mines. Rocks on the Farm drop them in Winter, and they show up in Fishing Treasure Chests. A full Ice Pip Fish Pond can produce them, and 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 after Clint's Cave Patrol special order. The odds stay the same on lucky and unlucky days.
Prices
Fairy Stone sells for ten times the cost of having Clint crack its geode. That makes it one of the finds that pays for a whole stack of Frozen Geodes at once. Gemologist, picked at Mining level 10, makes each Fairy Stone worth thirty percent more.
A Crystalarium can copy Fairy Stone in about three and a half days. That earns around 72g a day. Emerald earns about 120g a day and Diamond about 150g, so Fairy Stone only suits a spare machine when every good gem is already in use.
Uses
Donating the first Fairy Stone to Gunther adds it to the museum's mineral collection. Mineral donations unlock furniture rewards such as the Standing Geode and the Singing Stone. The Crystal Chair comes at 41 minerals and a Crystalarium at 50.
Putting Fairy Stone and Cloth in the Sewing Machine makes a Shirt. Placed in the spool with a dyeable clothing item, it dyes the item purple. It also fits the purple dye pot at Emily and Haley's house.
Gifts
The Wizard likes Fairy Stone.
Fairy Stone is a poor gift for the bachelors and bachelorettes Abigail, Alex, Elliott, Emily, Haley, Harvey, Leah, Maru, Penny, Sam, Sebastian and Shane. The Dwarf, Krobus and Sandy dislike it too. So do the children Jas, Leo and Vincent. The shop owners Clint, Gus, Marnie, Pierre, Robin and Willy dislike it as well, as do the older villagers Caroline, Demetrius, Evelyn, George, Jodi, Kent, Lewis, Linus and Pam.
Its high price makes it a costly gift. Cheaper Frozen Geode minerals please the Wizard just as much.
Notes
Frozen Geodes are the efficient way to hunt for Fairy Stone. Cracking them in bulk after trips to the middle floors of The Mines also fills in the other Frozen Geode minerals for the museum.
