==== 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.
* {{Item|Rubywall Crystal}} is a Crystal but not a Gem.
* {{Item|Glowy Yellow Crystal}} is an Irradiated Crystal. This type can sometimes be hazardous to carry.
* {{Item|Cow Malachite}} is an Attuned Gem crafted through a [[Sigil Scripting]] recipe.
* {{Item|Sapphire}} 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.

===== Crystal Nodes =====
Across [[Alharth]], crystal nodes can be discovered and mined for crystals or gemstones. They are often found deep in dungeons.
