Questions about this table

How do I assign gold values to generated gemstones?

Most systems provide gem value tiers - common gems worth 10 gold, uncommon worth 50, rare worth 100, and so on. Roll or choose a tier appropriate to the encounter difficulty, then use this table to describe what that gem actually looks like. The description adds immersion while the tier system handles balance.

Can gemstones serve as spell components in my game?

Yes, if your rules use them. The table supplies colour, cut, and visible details; the game system still determines the required type and value.
