Someone who digs for gems is typically referred to as a "gemologist" or a "prospector." A gemologist is a professional who studies, identifies, and evaluates precious stones, while a prospector is someone who searches for valuable minerals, including gems, in the earth. Both terms are commonly used to describe individuals who engage in the activity of searching for gems through excavation or mining.

No that is a prospector. After the ore is found, the people that dig it out of the ground, whether they had anything to do with finding it or not, are the miners.

A prospector, a geologist, a mineralogist, a rockhound, a mineral dealer, a geology student is someone who searches for minerals.

That would be a geologist, geophile, or, my favorite, a rock-hound.
