A meteorite in Stardew Valley primarily contains valuable resources, including Iridium Ore, Stone, and Omni Geodes. There's also a significant chance to acquire a rare Prismatic Shard when one is successfully mined. These celestial rocks are a coveted source of late-game materials for players.
Understanding Meteorite Contents
When a meteorite lands on your farm as a random event, it presents a unique opportunity to gather rare items. Unlike other farm debris, meteorites do not despawn naturally, meaning you can mine them at your convenience once you have the appropriate tools.
Here’s a breakdown of what you can expect to find inside a meteorite:
| Item | Quantity | Chance |
|---|---|---|
| Iridium Ore | 10 | 100% |
| Stone | 8 | 100% |
| Omni Geode | 2 | 100% |
| Prismatic Shard | 1 | 25% (1 in 4) |
Mining a Meteorite
To extract these valuable contents, you'll need a specific pickaxe:
- Required Tool: A Gold Pickaxe or better is necessary to break open a meteorite.
- Hits Required:
- Using a Gold Pickaxe will require 7 hits.
- Using an Iridium Pickaxe will require 6 hits, making the process slightly faster.
Once mined, the resources will be dropped on the ground for you to collect. Given the high value of Iridium and the rarity of Prismatic Shards, meteorites are an excellent random event to encounter on your farm, providing a significant boost to your resource collection.
