In Stardew Valley, Bixite is a cube-like black mineral. While it isn’t required in any recipes or bundles, 
Bixite plays a vital role in completing the Museum’s artifact collection. Many players diligently explore every corner of the map in the hope of stumbling upon at least one Bixite.
Unfortunately, the challenging aspect lies in the fact that obtaining this item is entirely RNG-based, lacking any guaranteed method. Nonetheless, this guide outlines the three best methods for acquiring your first Bixite in Stardew Valley.
Stardew Valley: How to Make Sugar
You can always find sugar at Pierre's, but if you know how to make it, you can turn it into a cash crop.
How to Get Bixite in Stardew Valley
Bixite is obtained through Magma Geodes and Omni Geodes, and there's a slim chance of acquiring it as a drop from a Black Slime. Regrettably, Bixite cannot be mined from Nodes; instead, you must rely on breaking Geodes or defeating Slimes to come across it, both processes determined entirely by RNG.
Break Magma Geodes
You can farm Magma Geodes in The Mines. Fishing is another method where you might reel in these rocks, although the likelihood is not very high. Waterways and the ocean serve as potential sources for extracting Magma Geodes through fishing. (You can then take these Geodes to the Blacksmith so he can break them for you.)
Collect Omni Geodes
In contrast to Magma rocks, gathering Omni Geodes is a more straightforward task. However, due to their extensive item drop list, the probability of obtaining Bixite from them is comparatively lower. To enhance your chances of farming Bixite, explore The Mines, consult with Krobus, shop at the Oasis store, and participate in the Crane Game at the Theater. Also, eliminate as many Carbon Ghosts as possible because they are known to drop Omni Geodes.
Kill Black Slimes
Black Slimes exclusively inhabit Slime Hutches and can emerge during a Random Event where a witch transforms all your Slimes into these dark creatures. While not an ideal method for Bixite farming, it could be considered a last resort if other avenues prove unsuccessful.
How to Farm Bixite
Farming Bixite proves challenging due to its reliance on RNG (Random Number Generator). The most reliable approach is placing one Bixite in the Crystalarium to double your yield, with the machine taking approximately three hours and eleven minutes to replicate the mineral. (To scale up your Bixite production, employ multiple Crystalariums.)
What to Do with Bixite
The main reason for players to look for Bixite is to donate it to the Museum. It’s one of the crucial gifts that help you complete Gunther’s treasure collection in Stardew Valley. Other than that, you can gift Bixites to Wizard, as he’s the only one who appreciates it. Alternatively, you have the option to sell cultivated Bixites for 300g each.
