'''Gems''' are a major source of [[GemStone IV]]'s treasure system. More often than not, the value of the gems found will exceed the silver found in a given hunt. The value of gems can range from 5 silver coins to more than 10,000. The variety of gems in [[Elanthia]], as most any fantasy world, exceed that of the real world. Many new types of gems are related to locations, events in history, or to the unique metals found on Elanthia. Location example: a [[Selanthan bloodjewel]] can only be found in the areas around [[River's Rest]] and [[Solhaven]]. Some gems, however, are created magically and the effects of such are visibly notable, such as in the [[firestone]] and many of the gems available through [[The Rift]]. Also like the firestone, many gems are related to an element. |

Gems can be appraised using the [[APPRAISE (verb)|APPRAISE]] [[verb]]. The value and quality of a gem can be also determined by a [[Bard]] using loresing, and can be increased by using the [[bard]] song [[Purification Song (1004)]]. Some gems (commonly known as "orb gems"; this status can also be determined by a [[bard]] using loresing) can be prepared to hold spells to be released at a later date, such as through the spells [[Magic Item Create (420)]] and [[Holy Receptacle (325)]], or can be used to recharge other items containing spells via the use of a [[grot t'kel potion]] and the [[Charge Item (517)]] spell. |
|||
Every gem found through the treasure system has a [[show]] description. Some gems, such as those found in [[Zul Logoth]]'s caves (not those found on the creatures), do not have a show attached to them. |

You peer intently at the fire opal as you turn it in your fingers, meticulously inspecting for flaws. As best you can tell, the fire opal is of '''average''' quality. |
