Now, if you're looking for a particular Gem type, it is recommended that you simply deplete all mining rocks and try again once they respawn.N.Verted Level: At the very start of the level on the right side of the beach. This means there is a small chance that the mining rock will spawn as a Gem rock or potentially another mineral such as Iron Ore or Coal.ĭo keep in mind that should a mining rock not spawn as a Gem rock, there is still a rare chance that you'll receive a Gem. Once depleted, all mining rocks will respawn every five minutes.
