Does dark sapphire still spawn in your backpack when mining? I haven't been able to find any.

    Is your tool set to ore and gems ?

    I didn't see anything about setting a tool to ore or gems. Just that they would spawn in your backpack while mining.

    Oh I see, I just have a shovel and it only has ore as an option

    You do not need to set the pick or shovel to mine for gems.  You can set it at ore or ore and granite and the special gems will still drop in your backpack. You just need to be at GM. Wearing mining gloves also helps.

    Isn't there a book you also have to read

    The book is only for mining normal gems. Per the wiki: The book ‘Mining for Quality Gems’ bought from a blacksmith in Royal City allows normal, jewelry gems, to be found randomly when mining with the tool’s context menu set to ‘ore and gems’.

    Yes, dark sapphire is still dropping when mining
    No, you don't need to set the shovel for that kind of gem.
    Yes, you need to be GM mining.

    I think you still need to read the book 
    didn’t the mining of regular gems start before the ml gems ? 
    I can’t remember

    I've always called the ML gems super gems just to differentiate as they are totally different and separate from actual gems
