The Cultist Gem is infinitely obtained by completing the Cultist Stronghold, clearing all Cultists (or mysterious group) from a nighttime raid, and doing fishing on the Algal Pond, or Bone Pond with any Fishing Rod (random drop). You can also get 3 Cultist Gems by RNG from fully charging the Volcano.

Cultist Gem — In-Depth Analysis
The Cultist Gem is a crafting material in 99 Nights in the Forest, and it is one of the most farmable high-value resources in the game thanks to its sheer number of sources. There are 8 ways to obtain it, split into 3 infinite sources and 5 temporary ones, which means you never truly run out, you just choose how aggressively to grind.
The infinite taps are the ones to build a routine around: clearing the Cultist Stronghold, fending off a nighttime Cultist raid, and fishing the Algal Pond or Bone Pond with any rod for a random drop. Fully charging the Volcano can also hand you 3 gems at once via RNG. The temporary sources, opening Gold Chests, clearing the Cultist Laboratory and Base, raiding the Ice Temple, and feeding a single Carrot to the Noseless Snowman, are nice bonuses but dry up.
Is it worth grabbing? Absolutely, and worth actively farming. The two most efficient pipelines are fishing the Algal Pond with a Strong Rod or sacrificing 8 Cultists to the Volcano, so pick whichever fits your run. As a pure crafting input with renewable supply, the Cultist Gem is a resource you should stockpile rather than spend casually.
