So, when you mine a gem rock, are the gems you get random or does a rock contain a specific gem? --220.237.32.246 04:42, 10 November 2007 (UTC)

Is it possible to double-mine these with Varrock armor 2? Since you can double-mine up to mith... --Jimfromtx 00:38, 24 June 2008 (UTC)

Varrock 3 doesn't come into effect. -- Mercifull ^(Talk) 23:32, 8 November 2008 (UTC)

Gem Rocks + glory Edit

I've mined my share of these to get crafting up to 82... I'm positive that using an amulet of glory while mining gem rocks significantly decreases mining time. 20:28, 14 July 2008 (UTC) (Fixed typo)

Contributing to Gem mining chance Edit

Is it possible to submit what we mined in the gem rocks? So we could help refine the percentages? Or is it already at really high numbers of test gems?

I think we should always be submitting more data. I just mined 411 rocks with dragon pickaxe and glory. According to this page in the Trivia section Crafting level has an effect on high leveled gems you can receive. My crafting level was 72 at the time. I was also using a decorated mining urns the whole time but I doubt that has any effect on the outcome. Anyways...

My results:

411 Gems total

201 Opal (48.9%)

78 Jade (19%)

34 Topaz (8.3%)

42 Sapphires (10.2%)

28 Emeralds (6.8%)

14 Rubies (3.4%)

14 Diamonds (3.4%)

This is 100% accurate. I also placed all precious gems in a gembag as I went a long to keep a better tally of my gem count.

I think these results awarded me better gems because of my crafting level versus the results on the main page.

Use them if you'd like.

GEM ROCKS Edit

i agree glory does speed up mining process on gem rocks considerably. although you get worse (less valuble) gems for it.

Gem Contributions II Edit

Gem Rock Contributions II.

4068 Gem Rocks mined @ 52 Crafting W/Glory - W/Rune Pickaxe @ 85-85 Mining

887 Jades - 21.9%

464 Red Topaz - 11.4%

333 Sapphires - 8.1%

168 Emeralds - 4.1%

160 Rubies - 3.9%

136 Diamonds - 3.3%

Darkmage0041 AKA AJ_falconEdit

Where is "the south"? Edit

In the trivia it says there might be a higher chance of getting better stones in "the south" the south of karmja? or all of rs? or whereever else... RuneOfSofran^Talk 23:11, March 27, 2011 (UTC)

Ring of Wealth + Amulet of glory Edit

Here are my results using Ring of Wealth(4), Amulet of glory(3), Rune Pickaxe, and Varrock Armour (which I don't belive does anything for gem rocks).

Stats: 64 mining, 68 crafting

Total gems: 225

Opal: 91 (40.44%)

Jade: 57 (25.33%)

Red Topaz: 23 (10.22%)

Sapphire: 21 (9.33%)

Emerald: 14 (6.22%)

Ruby: 8 (3.56%)

Diamond: 11 (4.89%)

Total Value: 183,837

Average Value per gem mined: 817.053

This suggests that a charged ring of wealth can help improve the average value per gem by 186.101. Thunder9092 03:24, September 9, 2011 (UTC)
