Small clusters of rough gems can be found strewn throughout the mountain. Cut gems can be used to create windows, and to encrust furniture, crafts, weapons, armor and ammunition. In addition, raw rock crystals are required to make crystal glass goods. Rough gems, cut gems and their crystal expressions can be used in the creation of legendary artifacts.
Gems have no value in rough form. First they need to be cut in a jeweler's workshop. Cut gems have a base value of 5, which is multiplied by the appropriate value modifier from the table below. Items can be decorated (encrusted) with cut gems; all such decorations have a value 10 times the gem type's value multiplier.
Roughly 1 in 3 rough gems will be cut into crafts or large gems. The chance of creating a "large gem" or craft is not affected by the skill of the gem cutter, but the quality of the finished good is.[Verify] 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.
You can also manufacture raw glass, which is the same as a lower-value, uncut gem.
Varieties
Gems come in 21 varieties, with their own colors and value multipliers:
| Rarity | Gem name | Value (×) | Color |
|---|---|---|---|
| Synthetic | green glass | 2 | ☼♦ |
| Synthetic | clear glass | 5 | ☼♦ |
| Synthetic | crystal glass | 10 | ☼♦ |
| Ornamental | rose quartz | 3 | ☼♦ |
| Ornamental | aventurine | 3 | ☼♦ |
| Ornamental | turquoise | 2 | ☼♦ |
| Ornamental | rock crystal | 2 | ☼♦ |
| Semi-Precious | red spinel | 20 | ☼♦ |
| Semi-Precious | chrysoberyl | 20 | ☼♦ |
| Semi-Precious | aquamarine | 20 | ☼♦ |
| Semi-Precious | opal | 20 | ☼♦ |
| Precious | ruby | 40 | ☼♦ |
| Precious | emerald | 40 | ☼♦ |
| Precious | sapphire | 40 | ☼♦ |
| Precious | diamond | 40 | ☼♦ |
| Rare | red diamond | 60 | ☼♦ |
| Rare | star ruby | 60 | ☼♦ |
| Rare | green diamond | 60 | ☼♦ |
| Rare | blue diamond | 60 | ☼♦ |
| Rare | star sapphire | 60 | ☼♦ |
| Rare | clear diamond | 60 | ☼♦ |
Unlike other gems, diamonds can ignite if they come into contact with magma.
Clusters of Ornamental gems can be found anywhere in the mountain, semi-precious gem clusters can be found most commonly beyond the cave river, and precious gem clusters most frequently occur beyond the chasm; however, there is always the chance for rarer gems to appear earlier in the mountain. About 2% of the time, mining out a gem cluster will produce a gem of the same color but of the next higher rarity, producing a message such as "A miner has found some <gem> mixed with the <gem>". This is the only way to find Rare gems.
Glass
Raw glass is treated as an uncut gem. There are three subtypes of raw glass (and, once cut, of cut glass gems):
| Gem name | Value | Color | Requires |
|---|---|---|---|
| green glass | 2× | ☼ | bag full of sand |
| clear glass | 5× | ☼ | bag full of sand + pearlash |
| crystal glass | 10× | ☼ | rough rock crystal + pearlash |
Making raw glass requires a dwarf with the glassmaking labor enabled, 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.
Raw gems are only one of the many things your glassmakers can make from glass. See glass for more information.
