Polished Andesite in villager trading
Polished Andesite is something you buy from villagers rather than sell to them; it does not appear as a raw-material trade, so trading is one of the few survival-friendly ways to stock up on it.
Polished Andesite is a building block. The Mason offers polished and processed stone variants that would otherwise need a stonecutter and raw materials to produce. A crafting grid makes 4 at a time from 4 × andesite.

Your odds of finding Polished Andesite
A villager only shows part of its trade table, so knowing who trades polished andesite is not the same as getting it. The friendliest roll here is the mason (journeyman): 29% of them carry it, so it takes about 3.5 of them on average before one does.
| Villager | Tier | Villagers with this offer | Rolls to see it | Most from one villager | After a cure |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Mason | Journeyman | 29% (2 in 7)Bedrock -50% (-1 in 2) | about 3.5 | 128 polished andesite a day32 uses, 2 restocks a day | no change |
The chance is the draw size over the pool size in the game's own trade set file for that tier. The Bedrock line under it is the same sum on Bedrock's own table, which splits a tier into groups and draws out of each one separately, so the two editions often disagree. The day figure is the trade's use limit times the 2 restocks a villager is allowed per in-game day (Villager.allowedToRestock), so it is a ceiling and not an average: it assumes you are there for every restock. Counted from the game's own draw sizes. How that check works.
Buying polished andesite against making it
The game's recipe makes 4 at a time, made from 4 andesite. Villagers here buy every one of those, so the parts have a price of their own: andesite at 16 an emerald. That puts a batch of 4 at 0.25 emeralds of goods, so 0.06 emeralds each.
A Mason sells polished andesite at Journeyman for 1 emerald for 4, so 0.25 emeralds each. That is 4 times what the parts are worth, so gathering the materials and making it yourself is the cheaper side of the same trade.
Recipe out of data/minecraft/recipe in the same client jar the trades are read from. Part prices are the best rate any villager on this site pays, before any cure discount, and each of those is a trade with a page of its own. How that check works.
Who trades Polished Andesite, and at what price
To buy Polished Andesite, visit a Mason at the Journeyman tier (1 emerald, 4 per trade).
Is trading Polished Andesite worth it?
Polished Andesite sells for as little as 1 emerald for 4 at a time, from the Mason at the Journeyman tier, and 5 of the other 9 cost less. The price is fixed rather than rolled, so a second Mason will quote you exactly the same.

How Polished Andesite trading works
Every polished andesite offer here locks after 16 uses, and a villager restocks up to twice per Minecraft day, so one is good for 32 of these trades a day and no more.
The earliest polished andesite shows up is the Mason's Journeyman tier, level 3 of five, which a villager reaches at 70 trade experience. A freshly employed one is 2 tiers short of offering polished andesite at all.
How long Polished Andesite takes in real time
64 polished andesite empty one slot at the Mason, 2400 ticks (Villager.allowedToRestock) at 20 a second (TickRateManager) refill it 2 real minutes later, and the 24000-tick villager day (Timelines) holds 2 of those fills in 20 real minutes.
So one mason moves 128 polished andesite against 32 emeralds a Minecraft day, 4 polished andesite every 37.5 real seconds, 1.6 emeralds a real minute. 64 polished andesite fit inside one of those slots, refill untouched.
Tips for trading Polished Andesite
- Clearing the shelf: the Mason hands over 4 polished andesite a trade and the slot runs 16 times, so 64 polished andesite for 16 emeralds before it has to restock.
- Where the emeralds come from: the same Mason pays an emerald per 10 clay balls.
- Also on the Mason's list: polished granite, polished diorite, dripstone block, nether quartz, colored terracotta, glazed terracotta.
