The Gem Cutting skill governs the speed of cutting Rough Gems into Cut Gems. Normal cut gems do not have a quality rating, so Gem Cutting cannot improve those. However, high Gem Cutting skill can improve the quality of any Large Gems that are created. It may also increase the chance of creating a Large Gem, though that is uncertain. (Any Verification?) Large Gems count as Finished Goods and have a base value of twice the value of a normal gem of the same type.

Gem Cutting is also used to turn raw glass into cut glass. This is an effective way to train gem cutting since rough gems are usually scarce.
