'''Emerald''', a green form of the mineral beryl, is a precious [[gem]] found in small [[cluster]]s within [[schist]], [[granite]], and [[marble]]. A value of 40 makes it an excellent trade good or item improvement item.

Due to the layers where it is found, it is often found in small clusters adjacent to the [[magma sea]], leaving only 1 or 2 crystals far enough away from the magma to be mined.

'''Tiger irons''', despite their name, cannot be used to make [[tiger]]s or [[iron]], nor have they been documented removing tigers from wheels. Rather, they are unremarkable low-value [[gem]]s found in [[sedimentary layer]]s.

==In Real Life==
Tiger irons are related to the [[tigereye]] and [[cat's eye]] gems, where [[iron]] striations in the stone give the appearance of a tiger's stripes.

'''Bloodstones''' are unremarkable low-value [[gem]]s found as small clusters in [[sedimentary layer]]s. Contrary to what its name implies, bloodstone is green instead of red. In the real world, bloodstone (also known as heliotrope) is a form of chalcedony, named for the inclusions of red iron oxide that resemble spots of blood.

'''Variscites''' are low-value green [[gem]]s found in [[bauxite]] clusters.

Since they occur in bauxite, along with [[ruby|rubies]] and [[sapphire]]s, they can occasionally overlap a cluster of these gems, which can prevent [[star ruby|star rubies]] and [[star sapphire]]s from appearing.
