All gems found through mining will be of unfinished quality. The quality of gems found as part of a treasure hoard may vary. This table applies to standard gemstones that may be found in the course of a campaign. Special gems of religious or ceremonial importance, or gems of unusual size should have a value higher than the perfect cut.
Gemstones Cuts Here are some common cuts for gems. The cut used for a gem is dependent on variety of factors, but in game terms it is purely a matter of aesthetics.

Birthstones
A practice dating back to antiquity, some believe birthstones correspond with the signs of the zodiac while others believe that the stones correspond with a month of the calendar. Different cultures have made different list of birthstones. The Eastern Table represents an older list that is almost universally accepted throughout asia while the Western Table is a more modern list where certain stones were chosen to replace stones that were not readily available. Birthstones can be used to flesh out characters, NPC's, or even campaign settings. Another option is using a gem of exceptionally quality to increase an attribute, either through crafting an enchanted piece of jewelry or having an alchemist render an elixir in which the gem is used. If allowed these should be a 1 time benefit, and should generally adhere to the racial restrictions on attributes. In the case of jewelry it only benefits the person it was crafted for or, at the DM's discretion, persons who share the same sign or stone. The Eastern Birthstone Table Zodiac Sign
