Gems and Jewelry

Use the tables below to determine the base value and number found when gems are indicated in a treasure hoard. If the number generated in the main table above is small, roll for each gem; but if the number is large (10 or more, at the GM's option), after each roll for Type and Base Value, roll the indicated die to see how many such gems are in the hoard. d% Type Base Value in Gold Pieces Number Found 01-20 Ornamental 10 1d10 21-45 Semiprecious 50 1d8 46-75 Fancy 100 1d6 76-95 Precious 500 1d4 96-00 Gem 1,000 1d2 Jewel 5,000 1 The values of gems vary from the above for reasons of quality, size, etc. The GM may use the table below to adjust the values of the gems in the hoard, at their option. This is why there is no die result given in the table above for Jewel; on a roll of 12 on the table below, a Gem can become a Jewel. 2d6 Value Adjustment 2 Next Lower Value Row 3 1/2 4 3/4 5-9 Normal Value 10 1.5 Times 11 2 Times 12 Next Higher Value Row d% Gem Type d% Gem Type 01-05 Alexandrite 58-63 Garnet 06-12 Amethyst 64-68 Heliotrope 13-20 Aventurine 69-78 Malachite 21-30 Chlorastrolite 79-88 Rhodonite 31-40 Diamond 89-91 Ruby 41-43 Emerald 92-95 Sapphire 44-48 Fire Opal 96-00 Topaz 49-57 Fluorospar Standard items of jewelry are valued at 2d8x100 gp value.
