Looking to find out which planet gives you which type of gem

If you go to the Iconic Resource network we have mines on all T6 planets.
Ok I’m mainly looking for diamonds right now so I can make more hammers

Diamonds are on serpen T5 and Mkrib T6. Best planets.

This website lists all the planets available. If you select the world it will tell you what gems they contain. For gems focus on the listing of the T5-6. for example i selected Norkyna and it shows this:
Maluriakrib is the best for diamond, however, it is t6 and plotted out the wazzoo, meaning there will be cases where you’re mining and hit someone’s reserves.
Lately ive prefered to mine Serpensarindi, though it is my least favorite of the 50 planets

Also i think (citation needed) you can get a titanium hammer to 1hit on a t5? Not that it really makes a difference; the plotting thing is the main pain.
I do remember though that they said something about plotted resources not showing up in the atlas anymore? It was in a testing post, not sure if it made it to live- but if you see a dark streak on the atlas you know theres a deeper plot afoot. BoundlessPuns.
You absolutely CAN 1 shot t5 rock with a titanium hammer. If it is unforged you’ll need at least a super strength brew (lv 4) . Forge a level 5 dev damage boon on it to achieve the same results without any AOE. With AOE(lv 4 all rounder boon), however, you’d need lv 10 dev damage to 1 shot rock, or at least level 6 dev damage and a level 4 strength brew. 
Edit: This is assuming a max mining mining spec.

diamond - malukriabi (I think it is written like this)
sapphire - houchus I
of emerald I am not up to date, where more percentage of beautiful stone you are going to get is in houchus I
Yeah, I prefer Serp for diamonds too - Malu is thicker in diamonds in the hotspots, but a lot of places are blocked off. There is one in particular that is like a whole continent of diamond hotspot. Plus, Malu seems to have more lava, there is a huge diamond hotspot area on Serp with little to no lava (I can dig up coords if interested, I know I posted them before).
For rubies, I like to just bring a block changer and change the diamonds.
Sapphires - Houchus I, no question there. Do the same with topaz there, though you get some too in the sapphire hotspots.
Amethyst - Norkyna, and ditto on the emerald with the block changing. Some good areas near the TNT portal there.
Also, always check the exos. Not many people seem to go for the regular gems on them, and some are absolutely loaded. Even the T5s, I remember one with amethyst/emerald not too long back that was great.

Yup, was thinking of my dmg10 titans. Nice and fast and go forever compared to gems 
also, the absolute amount of gems is less important than the hotspot you are in, where concentration is everything. Serp has some pristine diamond stretches that are often not swiss-cheesed yet

For topaz i frequent Galan, one can come out with hundreds in just a few minutes, though ya do run into similar issues with plotted locations. Amethyst i usually go to Besevrona though i hear norkyna isnt that bad. Usually ill grab more than i need and compact it, then gem change

Shameless plug.
TNT galan hub sits over the biggest topaz hotspot in the game. Easy SS an hour with a good spec, hammer and speed brew.

And the TNT Galan hub also has a nice portal to the Nova Golda Farm Hub on Galan which has a portal to an unclaimed stretch of hotspot! It has been claimed but higher or lower in some places.
Tho I need to check but I think it’s close to the TNT Hub by the looks of the atlas, lol
Also, ALL TNT T5+ portal gates have a Nova Golda Farm Hub in it, when coming thru the previous planet’s portal it’s always on your right. Only Serpensarindi where it’s in a different spot. Also an excellent diamond mine at the Serp Nova Golda Farm Hub! Also on Malu, mostly unplotted too…

@Ratchel and myself have a good chunk of one of the best diamond hot spots reserved on McRib. It’s not blocked off in anyway. Well other than the one area we needed to plot to reserve the space but it’s not at diamond level.
Also I have GC till late next year so my section will stay plotted to at least then. Which is over 1500 plots if I recall correctly
