Here I have set down only a little of what I have learned about gemstones having special uses in magic - for instance, in the crafting of items or in the augmentation of enchantments, not solely as raw material components. Many of the cheaper gemstones found in massive form are also cut for use as precious gemstones if of the highest value - of the most desirable hue and texture or of flawless composition. If not, they are sold by weight.
