Rfmuller: Shells can now be crafted into 'large gems'

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.

A large variety of cut gems can be brought by and requested from the dwarven caravan. You cannot import rough gems with the exception of raw [[glass]], which human and dwarven caravans can bring.

Exactly 5% of all rough gems will be cut into a single [[Useless_crap|craft]] or '''large gem''' (with 1 craft for every 8 large gems), and the same occurs with raw glass (but with different ratios - 33% of all jobs, producing 11 crafts for every 16 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 several thousand in the case of valuable gems and good craftsdwarfship. A dwarf with a [[strange mood]] can take a single gem and cut it into a [[legendary artifact]] known as a "perfect gem" - this is simply a special name for an artifact large 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 stone]]s are found as a by-product when butchering some animals, and can be used like cut gems. Only few animal species give gizzard stones, but each member of such a species butchered will yield one, which can lead to a decent supply when you manage to set up an [[ostrich]] or [[elk bird]] farm.

As of 43.03, you can direct your dwarves to cut a [[shell]] into a '''large gem'''. This can be done at a [[craftsdwarf's workshop]].

== Value ==
Gems have base [[value]] of 3 in rough form, which is multiplied by the appropriate value modifier from the table below. They gain value after they are cut in a [[jeweler's workshop]]. Cut gems have a base value of 5. Items can be decorated (encrusted) with cut gems; all such decorations have a value of 10 times the gem type's value multiplier. See [[Gem cutting]] and [[Gem setting]]. Large gems have a base value of 10, and can also have a [[quality]] modifier which increases value.

To give an example, a rough green zircon will be worth (3x20=) 60☼, a cut green zircon (5x20=) 100☼ and a masterwork large green zircon (10x20x12=) 2400☼.

== Varieties ==
Gems come in many varieties, with their own color and value multipliers:

Unlike other gems, diamonds can [[Fire|ignite]] if they come into contact with [[magma]].

== Gem Cuts ==

Finished gems have a particular cut. These cuts do not affect the gem's value. A gem can have multiple cuts, such as a "square brilliant" cut or "tapered baguette" cut. Some gem cuts are also known as "cabochons." Cabochons have a basic "shape" cut but not any more complicated cut. Gizzard stones do not have cuts.

List of cuts:
* baguette
* brilliant
* briolette
* cushion
* emerald
* marquise
* octagon
* oval
* pear
* point
* radiant
* rectangular
* round
* single
* square
* table
* tapered
* trillion

== Rare Gems ==
Faint yellow diamonds only appear in [[kimberlite]] (which itself only appears in [[gabbro]] layers) and sapphires and rubies only appear in [[bauxite]] (which occurs in any sedimentary layers). Colored diamonds only occur in pre-existing clusters of faint yellow diamonds. Star sapphires and rubies only occur within clusters of their peers.

== [[Glass]] ==
Raw glass is treated as an uncut gem. There are three subtypes of raw glass (and, once cut, of cut glass gems):

Gems

{| style="border-spacing: 0"
|-
! Gem name
! Value
! Color
! Requires
|-
|green glass||2×||{{Raw Tile|☼♦|2:0}}||[[bag]] full of [[sand]]
|-
|clear glass||5×||{{Raw Tile|☼♦|3:0}}||[[bag]] full of [[sand]] + [[pearlash]]
|-
|crystal glass||10×||{{Raw Tile|☼♦|7:1}}||rough [[rock crystal]] + [[pearlash]]
|}

Making raw glass requires a dwarf with the [[glassmaking]] [[labor]] designated, and, just like working [[metal]], it also requires [[fuel]] (either [[coke]] or [[charcoal]]) at a normal glass furnace, or [[magma]] at a magma [[glass furnace]]. Like all gems, raw glass has no [[quality]] modifiers. Note that cut rock crystals can't be used to make crystal glass objects.

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