Ocean Stone

Ocean Stone

Type	Mineral
Location	Frozen Geode; Omni Geode
Sell Price	220g

Ocean Stone is a geode mineral found in Frozen Geodes and Omni Geodes. It is one of the most valuable minerals in a Frozen Geode, behind only Kyanite and Fairy Stone. Its first use is the museum, where it fills a slot in Gunther's mineral collection. It also matters for Fish Ponds, since a Midnight Squid pond asks for one before it can reach full size. Spare pieces sell well, please the Wizard, and turn into the Ocean Shirt or a green dye.

The in-game description reads: An old legend claims these stones are the mosaics of ancient mermaids.

Location

Frozen Geodes are the main way to find Ocean Stone, with roughly a one in thirty chance each. Omni Geodes can hold it too. Their odds are shared across every geode mineral, so each one is far less likely to give it.

Rocks on floors 41 to 79 of The Mines drop Frozen Geodes. So do rocks on the Farm in Winter. A Fishing Treasure Chest may contain one, and villagers sometimes hand them out at the Feast of the Winter Star. A full Ice Pip Fish Pond produces them. On the Hill-top Farm and the Four Corners Farm, Frozen Geode Nodes in the small quarry give them when broken. If Sebastian runs a booth at the Desert Festival, Calico Eggs buy Frozen Geodes from him.

Clint at the Blacksmith opens geodes for a small fee. Clint's Cave Patrol special order rewards the recipe for the Geode Crusher, which opens them without the fee. Daily luck leaves the contents unchanged.

Prices

An Ocean Stone sells for more than twice the price of the unopened Frozen Geode. That makes it one of the better results from cracking one. The Gemologist profession at Mining level 10 adds thirty percent to the price.

A Crystalarium copies Ocean Stone in about three and a half days. That earns around 63g a day. Gems such as Jade or Amethyst earn nearly twice as much in the same machine.

Uses

Donating the first Ocean Stone to Gunther at the museum adds it to the mineral collection. Rewards for mineral milestones include furniture like the Standing Geode, the Singing Stone and the Obsidian Vase. Once forty-one minerals are in, the Crystal Chair follows, and at fifty a free Crystalarium.

A Midnight Squid Fish Pond asks for one Ocean Stone in the quest that raises its limit from eight fish to ten. Keeping a spare in a chest lets that pond reach full size without a special trip to The Mines.

Putting Ocean Stone and Cloth in the Sewing Machine makes the Ocean Shirt. Ocean Stone also works in the green dye pot at Emily and Haley's house.

Gifts

The Wizard likes Ocean Stone.

The Dwarf, Krobus and Sandy count Ocean Stone as a disliked gift. The same goes for Abigail, Alex, Elliott, Emily, Haley, Harvey, Leah, Maru, Penny, Sam, Sebastian and Shane, and for the children Jas, Leo and Vincent. The shop owners Clint, Gus, Marnie, Pierre, Robin and Willy dislike it too, and so do the older residents Caroline, Demetrius, Evelyn, George, Jodi, Kent, Lewis, Linus and Pam.

Cheaper geode minerals earn the Wizard's friendship just as well, so a spare Ocean Stone is better kept for a Midnight Squid pond or sold.

Notes

Hold on to one Ocean Stone after the museum donation. The Midnight Squid request comes late in that pond's growth, and Frozen Geodes give Ocean Stone only now and then.
