Small clusters of rough '''gems''' can be found strewn throughout the [[mountain]]. '''Cut gems''' can be used to create [[window]]s, and to [[jeweler|encrust]] [[furniture]], [[crafts]], [[weapon]]s, [[armor]] and [[ammunition]]. In addition, raw [[rock crystal]]s are required to make crystal glass goods. Rough gems, cut gems and their crystal expressions can be used in the creation of [[legendary artifact]]s.

Gems have no value in rough form. First they need to be cut in a {{L|jeweler's workshop}}. Cut gems have a base value of 5, which is multiplied by appropriate value modifier from the table above. Items can be decorated (encrusted) with cut gems; all such decorations have a value of 10 times the gem type's value multiplier.

Sometimes, rough gems will be cut into {{L|craft}}s or '''large gems'''. The chance of creating a "large gem" or craft is roughly 1 in 3, the skill of a gem cutter does not affect this number at all, only the quality of the finished good produced.{{verify}} Note that these will ''replace'' a cut gem and cannot be used to encrust goods. Such crafts can easily reach hundreds, even thousands depending on the gem.
  
 
You can also manufacture [[#Glass|raw glass]], which is the same as a lower-value, uncut gem.

Exactly 5% of all rough gems will be cut into a single [[craft]] or '''large gem''' (with 1 craft for every 2 large gems), and the same occurs with raw glass (but with different ratios - 33% of all jobs, producing 25 crafts for every 2 large gems). These will ''replace'' a cut gem and cannot be used to encrust goods. The value of such crafts can easily reach hundreds, possibly even thousands for rare gems.

Every embark region contains exactly 680 clusters of gems, distributed evenly by color (though some gem clusters may be overwritten by the cave river, chasm, and magma flow). Ornamental gems appear predominantly near the [[cave river]], semi-precious gems tend to show up around the [[chasm]], and precious gems show up most frequently beyond the [[magma flow]]; however, there is always the chance for rarer gems to appear earlier in the mountain.

2% of the time, successfully mining out a gem cluster will instead produce a gem of the same color but of the next higher rarity, producing a message such as "A miner has found some [[Ruby]] mixed with the [[Red spinel]]". This is the ''only'' way to find Rare gems.
