The Orange Gem is an item used to craft two Ancient items in Don't Starve. It can be used to craft The Lazy Forager, which automatically collects items, and The Lazy Explorer, which teleports the player a short distance across the screen. 

Orange Gem Gathering[]

Orange Gems are obtained by mining Ancient Statues, destroying Broken Clockworks, breaking certain Relics, opening Ornate Chests, and hammering Ancient Pseudoscience Stations in the Ruins.

In the Reign of Giants DLC, Orange Gems have a 0.02% chance to be dropped by Tumbleweeds, making them a renewable resource. In the Shipwrecked DLC, Orange Gems can be found in buried X Marks the Spot treasure chests. In the Hamlet DLC, there is a very low chance for Orange Gems to drop from Hammering Smashing Pots.
