Orange gem

The orange gem (also referred to as the gold gem in some early material) is one of the six colored gems in Crash Bandicoot and its N. Sane Trilogy remaster.

Along with the other colored gems, this opens up secret areas. It can be obtained by breaking all the boxes without losing a life in Generator Room. Once collected, it opens up two orange gem paths in Upstream. Unlike the other colored gems, the orange gem only appears as a collectible in Crash Bandicoot, though it makes a cameo in the N. Sane Trilogy version of Crash Bandicoot 2: Cortex Strikes Back. It also reappears as a prop in Crash Team Racing Nitro-Fueled, in the tracks Dragon Mines and Twilight Tour.
