Gems are the sole currency in Growtopia (besides the imaginary currency used when trading items, or the Rarity rating). Gems can be obtained through in-app purchases, completing Tapjoy offers or through common aspects of gameplay, such as breaking blocks and harvesting trees.
People usually use gems for buying Locks,stuff and items they need,Most people save gems for events(Valentine's Day,For Valentine Pack,The Valentine Pack Includes,Angel Wings,Candy Heart and More!)
The Tapjoy offer wall is accesible through the Growtopia Store. It allows the player to watch videos or install apps or by playing games using facebook to earn free gems for use during gameplay. Tapjoy is currently only available on the iOS and Android versions of the game.
Earning 1000 gems or more through Tapjoy or buying any in-app purchase makes the player a Supporter. Upon becoming a Supporter, the player unlocks the "Recycle" tool. This replaces the "Trash" tool in the player's inventory and allows them to recycle items to earn gems. When you recycle there is a random chance of getting a random amount of gems depending on the rarity.
Each type of block or tree in Growtopia drops a different amount of gems. This amount is usually influenced by the rarity of the block or item, but some blocks drop an unusually large amount of gems as they have been configured to. A good example of this is the Mystery Block. When one is broken, it can drop between 10-50 gems. Another example is the Pot O' Gold, an extremely rare item distributed during St. Patrick's Week, dropping up to 200 gems when broken. However, the destruction of these items is discouraged due to their high rarity and their resulting value when trading.
With a recent update, gems will group together if placed on top of each other. For example, if there are 4 gems and you drop 1 gem on the same space which the other gems are dropped, a blue gem will replace the 5 yellow gems. It's the same with red gems, green gems and purple gems.

Farming
Farming is the process of harvesting a set amount of trees for a specific item then placing these items. Once you place you break said items for Gems and more seeds and you repeat the process.
You can do this with a lot of things, the recommended block for farming mostly are Blackrock Wall, Pinball Bumper, and Venus Guytrap, as they give a lot of gems. Sugarcane also is a cheaper alternative
Where are gems used
Gems are usually used to buy various items in the store. But there are also other uses for the gems.
One example are Broadcasts. You can use 100 gems for a normal broadcast or a Super Broadcast where price changes with the amount of people on. But be informed, you will NOT be able to use these features unless you're below level 20.
