“Digging crystals out of the ground, and knowing what they do.
Geology Overview
Geology allows the collection of gems which are used for crafting and the teleportation skill. In order to raise this skill a player must first obtain the associated Surveying skill from Jaime Fatholm, and use a Mineral Survey.
- Mineral Surveys are named for both a region and color of gemstone. A Eltibule Orange Mineral Survey must be used in Eltibule and will only reward standard gems tagged with Category:Items/OrangeCrystal. Some gems are less common than others, for example Obsidians are not as common when making Blue Mineral Surveys.
- Speed bonus gems can be obtained if you collect another gem deposit shortly after collecting a previous gem deposit. Speed bonus loot table is based on the location and include some of the rarest gems in game.
- Gems are used in various crafting recipes to create Enchanted equipment. They are placed into the Primary Crystal and Secondary Crystal slots as a method to determine what skills equipment will have when crafted.
- Many NPCs like minerals as favor. Some will prefer specific gems, some will like colors categories, and a few will accept any of them.
- Blue Mineral Surveys leading to Amethysts and Green Mineral Surveys leading to Aquamarines are quite popular due to their use in Teleportation.

Types of Minerals and Common Terminology
The Geology skill aids in the collection of multiple types of mineral items. Every Gem is a Crystal but not every Crystal is a Gem.
- is both a Gem and a Crystal.
- is a Crystal but not a Gem.
- is an Irradiated Crystal. Although these are a type of Crystal, they sometimes require Mining or Foraging to gather. This type can sometimes be hazardous to carry.
- is an Attuned Gem crafted through a Sigil Scripting recipe.
- is a Catalyst Gem crafted through Geology.
- is an "Ilmari Gem," a name given to a group of ten gems added at the same time as the Ilmari zone. Ilmari Gems are often obtained as a Speed Bonus through Surveying.
Collecting gems and crystals is often accomplished through the use of Mineral Surveys crafted through Surveying. Once crafted, a specific level of Geology is required to understand each map.
