View on Items Database →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.
Only the Mason deals in it, so any trading hall that supplies Polished Andesite is built around that one profession. Polished Andesite can also be obtained outside of trading, but buying it from a villager is often faster than gathering or smelting the ingredients yourself.

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?
On the demand side, the cheapest a villager will sell polished andesite for is 1 emerald for 4 at a time (the Mason). Stack multiple villagers offering it, or cure one for a discount, and you can pull large quantities cheaply.
How Polished Andesite trading works
Every Polished Andesite trade follows Minecraft's standard supply-and-demand rules. A trade can be used a limited number of times — 16 for the slot in question — before it greys out and locks until the villager restocks. A villager restocks up to twice per in-game day, but only if it can path to its job-site block and "work" there, which is why a trading hall must leave the workstation reachable.
Buying polished andesite repeatedly nudges its price up: heavy demand temporarily inflates the emerald cost, and the price drifts back down over time or resets when the villager restocks. Curing the villager from zombie form, or triggering the Hero of the Village effect, applies a discount on top of that, which is the cheapest way to acquire polished andesite in bulk.
One caution: the first trade you complete with a fresh villager permanently locks its current offers, including the polished andesite slot at whatever price it rolled. If you are chasing a specific price, decide before you trade, because there is no re-rolling a villager once it has done business with you.
Tips for trading Polished Andesite
- Cheapest source: the Mason sells polished andesite for 1 emerald once it reaches the Journeyman tier, the lowest emerald cost recorded for this item.
- Cure for a discount: curing a zombie villager of the relevant profession permanently slashes its prices, so polished andesite can often drop to a single emerald. See how.
- Lock the price: once you complete a trade the offer is fixed, so a cheap roll of polished andesite stays cheap for that villager. Reset only happens on never-traded Novice villagers via the rolling method.
