Gems are precious stones which are not only rare but also pleasing to the eye.
Description[edit]
The list of known gems includes diamonds, rubies, emeralds, sapphires, and others. Most of these gems are treated the same, with the exception of emeralds, which play a special role in the lost valley of Eodon in Savage Empire. Besides this exception, gems can be ready liquidated at any jeweler who usually pay a good price for gems of all sorts. It was only in Ultima IX when the various gems got each their own special price attached.
