There are plenty of reasons to hunt a monster. Maybe you want revenge for the village it burnt down. Maybe you're after the fame and fortune that such a kill can bring. For those who live in some universes, however, there's another reason: If you cut open its body, you can find a ruby as big as your fist (or even bigger) nestled in among its squishy bits. This is a Gem Heart. The creature the Gem Heart is in is always large and dangerous; dragons are a common case. Sometimes, the stone comes naturally shiny and faceted, other times it doesn't. Often, this gemstone possesses some special magical ability. In more fantastical universes, this gem actually takes the place (and function) of a major internal organ; in other cases, it's simply a crystalline growth with little immediately visible effect on its owner's biology. The heart is the most common, hence the name, but finding gems within the brain isn't uncommon either. In works with a higher degree of biological verisimilitude, these stones are often explained away as gizzard stones, used to help the creature break down its food for digestion. Subtrope of Gem Tissue. See also Power Crystal. Often a form of Body to Jewel. May overlap with Heart Drive or Immortality Inducer. |

Dragon Quest VIII: The party has to go on a Matchmaker Quest on the behalf of the Prince of Argonia, who needs to slay an Argon Lizard and harvest their hearts as a sign of his coming of age and the right to marry Princess Medea of Trodain (who, unknown to him, has been transformed into a white mare due to a curse). Unfortunately, this person happens to be Prince Charmles. Literally, that's his name, and he's the epitome of entitled bastardry and a Royal Brat and Dirty Coward to boot. And to make things worse, after you slay a Great Argon Lizard and do the hard work for him, Prince Charmles buys a larger (and presumably fake) Argon Heart from a shady merchant anyway! Son of a... Luckily, this comes back to bite him in the ass hard, costing him Medea and his undeserved sense of entitlement. | |

Monster Hunter: As the primary method of obtaining exotic crafting materials is carving them out of the steaming carcasses of giant monsters, this is both a present trope and driving motivation in the game. Aside from somewhat mundane materials, such as pelts or bones, some larger monsters outright have some parts identified ingame as stones or gems, believed to contain some of the monster’s power. This a downplayed example as in-universe descriptions of the parts say they’re formed within the body tissues of the monster, effectively making them like high-end kidney stones. In addition to the internal organs, some truly massive or tough beasts can also provide minerals by mining their hard outer carapaces. | |

Tenra Bansho Zero: A quite literal example: the "heart engines" powering the Humongous Mecha of the setting each contain the actual heart of one of the native Oni people, who are widely (and largely incorrectly) considered savage monsters by the local humans. Perhaps needless to say, this little secret is not something the people in the know feel exactly inclined to share with the general populace. | |

Myst V: End of Ages: Part of the backstory reveals that this is true of the Laki, which appear to be something like otherworldly narwhals. The Laki collect gemstones in their gizzards to help them digest, and (before the cities in their world were destroyed by plague) were hunted almost to extinction in gladiatorial games to harvest them. They survived, but they don't get close enough to for the player to interact with them. | |

David is a little freaked out that he doesn't try to do this to Senna. It turns out, as a witch, Senna's heart is so hard that it would need to be replaced by a diamond. Nidhoggr was just being cheap. | |

The Stormlight Archive: Many of Roshar's native fauna have gemhearts, gems like raw rubies, emeralds, and sapphires deep beneath their shells, which gather Stormlight and attract various helpful spren. These gems are absurdly valuable, because the gemstones and their Stormlight are the primary currency among humans, due to the face that they can be used by Soulcasters to transmute materials, such as turning rocks into grain or air into stone. Greatshells such as the chasmfiends use them to decrease their own weight, so that the Square-Cube Law won't kill them. By the time of the story, most of their gemhearts are gathered through the slightly unsporting method of waiting until the greatshell is pupating, then cutting through the stone carapace to get to the gem using Shardblades. The chasmfiends' gemhearts are so valuable and powerful that one can pay an entire Highprince's military operating costs for months, and they typically harvest several per week. In fact, they're so valuable that fighting over them has become the entire strategic focus of the war that dominates the plot of the first two books. They remain relevant in the later books; the larger and more perfect a gemstone, the longer it can hold stormlight, meaning the enormous greatshell gemhearts essentially serve as a high capacity tank for Knights Radiant and Magitek. Skyeels take this a step further, using the same gravity-decreasing spren to float. The Parshendi use the gemhearts to trap spren that enable them to change into various forms. They also have an intense cultural taboo against disturbing the bodies of the dead because ancient humans would cut apart the bodies of dead Parshmen to get at their gemhearts. |

He killed those who spoke of such things to him, though. The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion: The enemy mooks within the Shivering Isles DLC are the Knights and Priests of Order. Looting their bodies reveal them to all contain Hearts of Order.

Magic: The Gathering: Karn was created with a Phyrexian heartstone, which worked until he gave up his Planeswalker spark to help mend time rifts on Dominaria. When he did, the oil in the heartstone gradually corrupted him. During the Phyrexian takeover of Mirrodin, the Phyrexians attempted to convert him into their new Father of Machines. Ultimately subverted: his heartstone was replaced with Venser's human heart, restoring his Planeswalker spark and cleansing him of the Phyrexian corruption. | |

That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime: The witch Myulan has an artificial heart formed from magic crystal that was "given" to her by the Demon Lord Clayman when he transformed her from a human to a majin. Said heart is "bugged" to let him spy on her at all times, and he keeps her original heart safe and attuned to it so that he can kill her whenever he wants if she doesn't serve him loyally. When Rimuru decides to free her from Clayman's service, he briefly kills her by removing said bugged heart (which destroys her original heart as well) and replacing it with a new and better crystal heart to resuscitate her. | |

Spelljammer: Buzzjewels are swarming insects that resemble large (hand-sized) dragonflies, which graze on "interesting" minerals like gemstones and eventually crystallize some sort of a small gem in their bellies, with a mildly poisonous bite to use if the swarm is attacked. | |

Heartcore: The titular item, Heartcores, are crystals that can be found in almost any living creature that possesses a heart, harvested by using demonic magic against the being who's heart you want to tear out. It serves as the main food source for demons as well as a mighty powerboost that can make the consumer stronger when eaten. They are incredibly valuable if they come from either humans or beastman, leading to demon being willing to start entire wars and genocides to get their hands on them. They also serve as a demons weakspot, since they all have these instead of hearts and the only way to kill a demon is to either destroy the head or the heartcore. | |

Once Upon a Time: When ripped out, hearts tend to look more like red glowing heart-shaped stones than actual hearts. You can tell a person's Character Alignment by checking how blackened the heart is, squeeze it for use as a magical Shock Collar, or just crush it and kill the person you took it from. A person without a heart also loses the capacity for most emotions. Whether these hearts have any relation to biological anatomy at all hasn't been explored. Two characters Snow White and Prince Charming, share a heart. It's very sweet, so don't ask. | |

Ars Magica: Vis, crystallized magic energy, is often found coalesced in the magically potent parts of a beast. While not always strictly a gemstone (as the shape it takes is dictated by the storyguide's discretion and the particulars of any individual mage's magic), it often is. A dragon's heart is worth sixty pawns' worth. (To the uninitatied: it's a goddamn fortune.) | |
