Like the other elemental ascension gems, Vajrada Amethyst comes in four levels of quality: Vajrada Amethyst Sliver, Vajrada Amethyst Fragment, Vajrada Amethyst Chunk, and Vajrada Amethyst Gemstone. There are quite a few ways to obtain these gems, so let’s take a look at those methods, as well as which characters are going to need them — and when.

Genshin Impact Bosses That Drop Vajrada Amethyst
Usually, the best way to farm elemental gemstones is by defeating bosses that can drop the right ones. For Vajrada Amethyst, the following bosses are capable of dropping Vajrada Amethyst in their rewards (which cost 40 Original Resin, of course):
Secret Source Automaton: Configuration Device
Tenebrous Papilla
For the most part, higher-level bosses can drop better quality gems, as seen here:
0+
36+
2+
41+
4+
62+

83+
Gemstones
*Please note that the Primo Geovishap will always drop Prithiva Topaz, but can only drop Vajrada Amethyst when it has infused Electro.
Genshin Impact Weekly Bosses That Drop Vajrada Amethyst
As with standard bosses, there are weekly bosses that are capable of dropping Vajrada Amethyst when the player clears their trounce domain and pays the Resin for the rewards:
(Beneath the Dragon-Queller)
(Enter the Golden House)
(End of the Oneiric Euthymia)
The King and Queen
(The Game Before the Gate)
Just like with standard bosses, weekly bosses drop better gems at higher levels:
Domain levels
III, IV
*Azhdaha will infuse two elements per week on a weekly rotation, which can be seen on the door to his domain before entering. Azhdaha is only capable of dropping the stones that correspond to the two elements he is infusing, plus Prithiva Topaz.
Other Ways to Get Vajrada Amethyst in Genshin Impact
Apart from taking on bosses, there are a handful of other ways to find some Vajrada Amethyst.
Daily Commissions
Perhaps one of the easiest ways to earn elemental gems is by completing daily commissions, though it can also be unreliable.
After completing the four daily commissions assigned by theAdventurers' Guild, players can grab a few bonus rewards from Katheryne at any branch. Unfortunately, this only yields Slivers, and which elemental gem they are is random.
Crafting
Luckily, those Slivers can becrafted upwardinto Fragments, which can be crafted into Chunks, and those can be made into Gemstones.
At a crafting bench, elemental ascension gems can be crafted upward at a 3:1 ratio. Here’s a breakdown:
+
300
=
1x Fragment
900
1x Chunk
2,700
1x Gemstone
Conversion
If the player has the wrong elemental stones for what they need, a crafting bench can also help them convert those into the right ones.
Using the conversion option at a crafting bench, players can useDust of Azothto convert elemental ascension gems into those for other elements, meaning they can turn Agnidus Agate, Shivada Jade, Nagadus Emerald, Vayuda Turquoise, Varunada Lazurite, or Prithiva Topaz into Vajrada Amethyst.
Dust of Azoth can be purchased from Paimon’s Bargains at a rate of 5 Stardust for 10 counts of Dust of Azoth.

Parametric Transformer
Another easy, but slightly unreliable way to create elemental gems is by using the Parametric Transformer. When certain types of materials are used as “fuel,” there is a higher likelihood of obtaining certain results. It’s not guaranteed, but thechances are higher for receiving gems when inserting these materials:
Crystal Core
Electro Crystal
The Parametric Transformer creates “sets” of items. Two of these sets can include elemental ascension gems: one that has a single Fragment of a random element, and one that has two Slivers of a random element.
Events
Perhaps the least reliable method for earning elemental ascension gems is also one of the easiest. This is through time-limited events. It’s not every event that has elemental ascension gems as possible rewards, but they’re typically pretty easy to obtain when they are.
