Gem

Gems are precious stones which are not only rare but also pleasing to the eye. Gems among others, are diamonds, rubies, emeralds, saphires and so on. Of these, emeralds play a special role, all others are treated as the same. Gems are generally (with exception of Eodon) unusable as currency and are sold to jewelers who pay a good price for gems of all sort.
