  • Gem rocks
rdfs:comment
  • Gem rocks are a unique type of rock that yield gems, rather than ore, when mined. 40 Mining is required to mine these rocks. Gem rocks take about a minute and twenty five seconds to respawn, though the rate changes depending on how many players are connected to the server. When all nearby rocks have been mined, players can hop worlds to get access to unmined rocks. The chance of mining an additional ore while wearing Varrock armour does not apply to gem rocks.
  • The gem received is random - rocks are not bound to specific gems, except for the rocks found during The Tale of the Muspah. It is rare to receive more expensive gems such as rubies and diamonds. Gems are mined at a faster rate while wearing a charged amulet of glory and ring of wealth. Wearing a ring of wealth also gives a small chance to get two gems from one rock (a message will appear when this occurs).

Gems are mined at a faster rate while wearing a charged amulet of glory and ring of wealth. Wearing a ring of wealth also gives a small chance to get two gems from one rock (a message will appear when this occurs). A popular technique when mining these rocks is to bring a chisel and cut and fletch the gems into bolt tips, thus reducing the need to bank. The gem rocks can also be used with the gem bag reward from Dungeoneering.
