Revision as of 16:30, 29 October 2015

For these items in other games, see Precious Gem.
For other types of gems, see Gem.

Precious Gems are valuable items found in The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion. Six exist in the game world: Diamond, Emerald, Sapphire, Ruby, Topaz, and Pearl. Gold and Silver Nuggets are classified as precious gems. Flawless Diamonds have one of the highest value per weight-unit in the entire game.

Unlike Soul Gems, precious gems serve no practical function and cannot be used in the crafting of items; however, due to their rarity, they can be sold for various amounts of septims, depending on their quality. Gems come in three qualities: flawed, flawless, and an unmarked standard quality. Value is ranged from flawed, standard, and flawless respectively. Due to their lightweight and high value, gems are ideal loot when spelunking caves and dungeons.

Obtaining gems is relatively random. While most gems appear as radiant loot from containers and corpses, some locations statically produce the same gems, always. Various general goods merchants trade gems, having them available for purchase while also willingly buying them. Magic-related merchants and curiosity shops also purchase gems, even if they do not sell them. Countess of Chorrol, Arriana Valga, gives various precious gems as a reward for completing "Canvas the Castle".

Types

All gems have a weight of 0.1, and all nuggets have a weight of 0.25.
