# Gemstones

Prestige minerals with powerful effects

Raw Gemstones turn up when the [Mason](/pawtato-land/gameplay/buildings/crafting-stations.md) [processes](/pawtato-land/gameplay/resources/resource-processing.md) Stone into Gravel with a [Glyph of Intermediate Masonry](/pawtato-land/gameplay/tools/masonry-tools.md) staked, and can also be found on [Adventure](/pawtato-land/gameplay/adventure.md) by [Heroes](/pawtato-land/gameplay/heroes.md).

Gems have many use cases, including - but not limited to:

* **Socket** into Equipment for additional boosts
* **Material** to craft [Broken mention](broken://pages/RLssioKVwfZd2JocxvG2) and other [Equipment](/pawtato-land/gameplay/equipment.md)
* **Material** to craft [**Skill Scrolls**](/pawtato-land/gameplay/heroes/skills.md)
* Required component to merge Fragments into [**Ascension Tablets**](/pawtato-land/gameplay/heroes/ascension.md)

There are different **tiers** to gems, and all of them are cut from a raw gemstone at the **Jeweller** - the building that also merges lower tier gems into more pristine versions. The Jeweller only opens its benches while a [**Glyph of Master Masonry**](/pawtato-land/gameplay/tools/masonry-tools.md) is staked, and each craft there spends that Glyph's Energy.

The different gems also resonate with certain themes:

* **Topaz**: Defense, Agility
* **Ruby**: Physical Damage, Strength
* **Amethyst**: Utility, Dexterity
* **Sapphire**: Magical Damage, Intelligence
* **Emerald**: Support, Vitality
* **Diamond**: Luck

#### Diamond

**Raw Diamonds** turn up the same way as the other raw Gemstones: the [Mason](/pawtato-land/gameplay/buildings/crafting-stations.md) can find one while processing Gravel with a [Glyph of Intermediate Masonry](/pawtato-land/gameplay/tools/masonry-tools.md) staked, and every [Ore Vein](/pawtato-land/gameplay/adventure/mining.md) can turn one up as a rare bonus strike.

Before the Jeweller can work them, you need to learn **Blueprint: Diamond Processing**. It is sold at the [Miner's Tent](/pawtato-land/gameplay/adventure/mining.md#miners-tent) for **10 Raw Diamonds** at <mark style="color:cyan;">Admired</mark> Miners Union [Reputation](/pawtato-land/gameplay/the-world/reputation.md), and learning it at the Jeweller teaches all three Diamond recipes at once: cutting a Raw Diamond, upgrading **Chipped Diamonds** to **Diamonds**, and upgrading **Diamonds** to **Perfect Diamonds**. Like every shop Blueprint it is **soulbound** - see [Blueprints](/pawtato-land/gameplay/consumables/blueprints.md).

#### Gemstone Pouch

A **Gemstone Pouch** is a pouch filled with cut Gemstones. Open it from your **Backpack** like any other Pouch to reveal what's inside. It rolls up to three times:

* The **first** roll always pays one **Chipped** Gemstone - any of the six, each equally likely.
* The **second** roll sometimes adds another Chipped Gemstone, a regular Gemstone, or a **Quartz** or **Tourmaline**.
* The **third** roll can, rarely, add a Chipped or **Perfect** Gemstone, or one of the legendary finds **Amber**, **Alexandrite**, **Black Opal** or **Dryad's Tear**.

Gemstone Pouches drop from the [Casino](/pawtato-land/gameplay/buildings/casino.md), from Small, Medium and Large [Pouches](/pawtato-land/gameplay/heroes/discovery.md) and from the treasure chests in [Hallow Maw](/pawtato-land/gameplay/adventure/dungeons.md).
