Gemstones are very well hidden special collectibles in Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon and Luigi's Mansion 3.

Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon

There are five different types for each mansion. Amethysts are in the Gloomy Manor, Emeralds appear in the Haunted Towers, Rubies are in the Old Clockworks, Sapphires are in the Secret Mine, and Diamonds are in the Treacherous Mansion. Each is hidden very well, and the player must have a keen eye to spot clues to where they are. For each mansion, there are 13 different gemstones, each with a different shape. Collecting all the gems will unlock a special statue of Luigi for the player to admire. It's decorated with the gems that were collected.

Luigi's Mansion 3

In Luigi's Mansion 3, Gemstones make a return for The Last Resort, and also are simply called gems. This time they utilize many other tricks, like the Burst, Suction Shot, or even the Super Suction. There are much more gems in total (37 more, making a total of 102 to be exact) and thus instead of changing the color for each floor's gems, they change the shape, usually representing the theme of the floor, except the first ones, which show more common cuts for gems. There are 6 gems in total and each floor has these colors:

• White Gem
• Red Gem
• Blue Gem
• Green Gem
• Purple Gem
• Yellow Gem

Collecting all the gems for a certain floor will award an Achievement for that floor. Collecting all of the gems in the whole game will award the Suction Shot Type-C, which is a reskinned version of the suction shot that looks itself like a gem.

The normal Suction Shot.
