I would also suggest changing the redirect for glass to gem - there is a significant amount of material that is unique to glass that is not appropriate for gems in general. --[[User:Shagie|Shagie]] 03:22, 10 November 2007 (EST)

Alright, during my hours of game play, I've found out that depth(in z-levels) and the maximum rarity/value of available gems within the current layer are connected. The deeper you dig, the more valuable gems you'll find. However... With modding I've discovered that it's impossible to find very valuable sedimentary and igneous only gems. Since those layers never reach the necessary depth. It also means that more valuable sedimentary and igneous only gems are a lot more rarer than their metamorphic counter parts. Could anyone conform this? [[User:Noctis|Noctis]] 13:29, 20 November 2007 (EST)

Toady One said under such metals as Bismuth bronze that he was trying to avoid using names specific to real-world places. I see several gems where he wasn't able to avoid it. --Alfador 23:10, 9 November 2007 (EST)

Glass bar

However, this appears to requires a Glass Bar, which is not possible to create at the current time.
