“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.
- 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.
- Blue Mineral Surveys leading to Amethysts are quite popular due to their use in Teleportation.

Geology Mechanics
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 an "Ilmari Gem," a name given to a group of ten gems added at the same time as the Ilmari zone.
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.
