Webkinz Next takes gem mining to a whole new level! There’s an amazing mine that your pets can explore as they search each day for gems! Your pet can mine up to three gems a day but they can only choose one to take from the mine. That’s just the first of two big decisions you have to make!
There are common, uncommon and rare gems and when the time comes to choose your gem, you can see how many of each gem you already have which can help you decide. Then it’s back up the mine shaft to the Curio Shop with your find!
Amanda Panda runs the Curio Shop and she’s always on the lookout for gems. She’ll be ready with an offer and then it’s time to decide – do you sell your gem or keep it?
Selling gems is a great way to earn some extra KinzCash, and sometimes selling a gem may be a season task. In that case you may be asked to sell a gem depending on its rarity so be sure to check the task before you decide. The more rare a gem, the more KinzCash Amanda will offer!
You may be saving up for your Crown of Wonder in which case you might want to keep your gem. You can craft as many Crowns of Wonder as you want as long as you’ve collected at least one of each gem.
Gems can also be used in crafting which is another reason you might want to hang onto them! Visit the Crafting Table in the Curio Shop to check out the awesome items you can craft! That will help you take inventory and figure out which gems you’re willing to sell and which ones you want to keep.
Of course, there’s always a chance you might find slag instead of gems when you go mining but don’t worry! Slag can also be used to craft items in the Curio Shop!
There are many good reasons to sell your gems and many good reasons to keep them! Tell us in the comments, how do YOU decide whether to sell or not to sell?

any chance we’ll get new items to build?
I’m surprised most people sell! My approach has always been to keep, because if I need more KinzCash, I can earn more in the arcade, but if I need a certain gem, I’ll have to play the odds to try to get it. Granted, I’ve got about 30 of each gem at this point, so I haven’t exactly been using them… I hope we’ll see more of Doug’s prizes moved over from Classic as recipes, that’d be nice. Still, you can win 250 KC in a long game of Dragon Stones, and that’s usually more than most gems sell for.
After getting at least one crown on each account for the collector in me, I made sure to keep at least two of every gem (more of the common) and started crafting. I also try to find the gem of the day, mining only those color gem rocks, hoping to get a premium price. (I once received 600KC for a Hopeful Diamond when it was the gem of the day!) I have a rough guideline for myself when it comes to selling, so I get a fair price for each gem: Common (at least 60 KC), Uncommon (at least 120 KC), Rare (at least 180 KC). That guideline goes out the window once I get 10 of any gem. Then I generally just sell for whatever Amanda is offering. The only exception to this is the Candy Carnelian gem as it is used in a cute cake recipe invented by gbjockey2. https://webkinznewz.ganzworld.com/announcements/player-designed-cake-is-ready-to-bake/
I keep at least ten of every gem. If it sells for over 50 KC, I sell it. Once I hit 15 of the gem, I sell all. I sell all of my rare gems since I have ten of each. It is a great way to make extra KC, especially if you get to gem hunt twice a day.
Considering that the Crown of Wonder is basically worthless after you get your first one to collect, making crafts are a reason to keep, but otherwise, you are much better off to sell them in a nickle and dime fashion, since selling a completed crown only brings in 10KC.
really, only 10 kc? I usually keep most of the gems.
The Crown of Wonder is set to sell for 250KC
The crown used to sell for 10KC, I have proof of such. Now they’ve changed it to 250 which is equivalent almost to the 2500 the classic one sells for but it’s still pretty bad on price.
Prices and trade values are subject to change.
I had no idea the price went up, but still you’d make more selling individually.
I also sell for the money. However, I do have a stock pile of all the gems. :)
I like to have a few of each on hand, just in case a challenge requires them to make something.
LOLLL THE MEME
No way webkinz used a meme format for their latest post.
I already have one crown of wonder and at least one of each crafting item so I just sell everything now, because who doesn’t need more kinzcash? lol
I agree. I got the crown and the crafting items and now sell the most expensive gem I mine.
