There are a few ways to get any of the elemental gems, including crafting, converting, completing daily commissions, or buying them from the Mondstadt and Liyue souvenir shops. However, many bosses will drop them, as well. The higher the level of the boss or challenge, the higher the level of the gem they’ll drop.
These bosses can drop Vajrada Amethyst,which the Raiden Shogun needs plenty of:
