Rubies and Sapphires!

[thearomalady]

So I don't know if anyone else has found this because nobody has mentioned it that I have seen, but!!! I picked up a humming book on the floor of Mickey's Secret Room, and put it in a bookshelf and this extra room appeared, and in the chest on the far left were 4 gems- an emerald, a sapphire, a ruby, and a shiny diamond. I must admit I was wondering why something lesser-known like tourmaline or citrine were in this game, and not rubies or sapphires.

Rubies and sapphires aren't on our listing of Mining items. Does this mean there's an area to the game we haven't yet gotten?

Also what are the other four books for they just sit on the floor and sparkle. They are:
Fairytale Book- a white book with the description "A classic fairytale book about a prince in distress and a damsel to the rescue".

Scrooge's Accounting Records- an indigo or navy blue book with the description "This book contains Scrooge's accounting records from before the Forgetting. Looks like he was selling a lot for major profit".

Minnie's Polka Dot Compendium- a dark purple book with the description "Who could have thought there would be so many possible variations?"

Worn-Out Book- A dark orange book with the description "Looks like this book has been read a lot. Someone drew a tower on the first page".

the joys of playing a beta and being a tester is that you know that the whole game isn't done. We have a lot to come to us still.

As for rubies and sapphire, they are coming. they are materials for crafting, along with a few other not spawning yet.

There is a secret room where you can get one of those gems. Not telling where, but Mickey might know.

Mate, did you read anything I wrote except the title? xD

The first thing I say is I found some in Mickey's secret room's secret room.

I don't think anyone who is replying actually read what I said except Almira xD

Like I know this game is in early access and not complete. I can, in fact, rad and know they are for crafting and can be mined. I am, regrettably, not unintelligent enough to be unaware of that- my question is really where is this area going to go and what is it? Is it that weird grey area behind/above the Forgotten Lands? Is there another area, too? It'd make sense if there were two more Biomes coming, since most gemstones are found in multiple Biomes except Topaz and Diamond, and they share mining spots with Garnet and Amethyst respectively. If so, are Topaz and Diamond going to be accessed at those locations as well? Like one area you can mine Sapphire and Topaz, and one Diamond and Ruby? Is one area going to be like, a cavern/mountain? There isn't one of those yet. What would be the other one?

We definitely need a mine where a million diamonds shine.
