Gemstones include precious gems prized for their beauty or industrial applications, such as diamonds, emeralds, rubies and sapphires. They are used as an intermediate resource in the manufacture of more complex items.
Gemstones are a Planetary Resource that can be extracted from a Gemstones Mine, if they are listed on the Planet's Geological Survey (GEO), or converted from Raw Resources on any Planet using a Stripmining Complex.
