Bixite, a cube-like black mineral in Stardew Valley, may not be essential in recipes or bundles, but it is crucial for completing the Museum's artifact collection. Players often search every nook and cranny of the map in hopes of finding at least one Bixite.
The difficulty lies in the fact that obtaining Bixite is entirely based on RNG, with no guaranteed method available. However, this guide will highlight the top three methods for obtaining your first Bixite in Stardew Valley.

To obtain Bixite, you can break Magma Geodes.
To collect Omni Geodes, you can farm them in The Mines or try your luck with fishing. While fishing may not guarantee a high chance of obtaining these special geodes, waterways and the ocean are potential locations where you can reel them in. Once you have gathered Omni Geodes, you can take them to the Blacksmith for him to break them open for you.
To improve your chances of obtaining Bixite from Omni Geodes, focus on killing Black Slimes.
How to Farm Bixite
Black Slimes are found exclusively in Slime Hutches and may appear during a Random Event caused by a witch turning all your Slimes into these dark creatures. While not the most efficient way to farm Bixite, it could be a viable option if other methods are not yielding results.

Farming Bixite can be a challenging task because it heavily relies on RNG (Random Number Generator). One of the most effective methods is to place a single Bixite in the Crystalarium, which will double your yield. It takes about three hours and eleven minutes for the machine to replicate the mineral. To increase your Bixite production, consider using multiple Crystalariums.

Players often seek out Bixite primarily to donate it to the Museum, making it a key contribution to Gunther's treasure collection in Stardew Valley. In addition, Bixites can be gifted to the Wizard, who is one of the few characters that appreciate them. Alternatively, players can choose to sell cultivated Bixites for 300g each.
