Small clusters of rough '''gems''' can be found almost anywhere while [[mining]]. After they have been mined by a [[miner]] and cut by a [[gem cutter]], a [[gem setter]] can use them to [[encrust]] [[furniture]], [[crafts]], and [[ammunition]]. In addition, raw [[rock crystal]]s are required to make crystal glass goods. '''Cut gems''' can also be used to create [[window]]s and are often required as a source material for [[legendary artifact]]s. Gem encrusted [[weapon]]s and [[armor]] can be found in game, but cannot be made in fortress mode. Stones, including the various types of clay, can also be cut into gems. | Small clusters of rough '''gems''' can be found almost anywhere while [[mining]].

− | + | The majority of these gems can be brought by and requested from the dwarven caravan, in both cut and rough form. Humans are capable of bringing [[glass]] gems, also in both forms. | |
− | + | Sometimes, rough gems will be cut into [[craft]]s or '''large gems'''. Note that these will ''replace'' a cut gem and cannot be used to encrust goods. The value of such crafts can easily reach hundreds, even thousands depending on the gem. A dwarf with a [[strange mood]] can take a single gem and cut it into a [[legendary artifact]] known as a perfect gem. They function much like large gems. | |
If you have any bags of sand, you can also manufacture [[Glass|raw glass]], which is the same as a lower-value, uncut gem. | If you have any bags of sand, you can also manufacture [[Glass|raw glass]], which is the same as a lower-value, uncut gem. | ||
− | [[Gizzard | + | [[Gizzard stones]] are found as a by-product of butchering animals, and appear to function like cut gems. It has not yet been confirmed if gizzard stones can be found in domesticated animals. |

Raw gems are only one of the many things your [[glassmaker]]s can make from glass. See [[glass]] and [[glass industry]] for more information. | Raw gems are only one of the many things your [[glassmaker]]s can make from glass. See [[glass]] and [[glass industry]] for more information. | ||
