I've picked up a load of gems through the game and most sell for about 10-18gp. But, I'm starting to get gems that talk about being magical and sell for 1000-2000gp ... what's the score ? are these gems really magical ? if so, how do i use them ?
cheers chaps

Sell, sell.

It says they can be used in the creation of magic, but other than gems with NO VALUE they can't be used for anything other than lining your locket with gold.

Sell ! Besides, if you need them later, you will be able to buy or steal them back again.

If you want to do all quests: the only three gems that have any use except for selling are these:
1 Diamond
1 Beljuril gem
1 Rogue Stone

If you keep one of each in a gem bag, you will be able to use them, the first two gems to upgrade a certain item twice
and the last one to be able to do a little quest that you otherwise won't get
(not gonna spoil ya! If you want to know specifics, just ask)

Melusine, you can't store the Beljuril in a gem bag last I checked. http://www.tgeweb.com/ironworks/cgi-...iles/smile.gif

You should be able to. I had two or three of them in mine. Are you sure the bags not full up?

I wouldn't recommend putting special items in gem bags - it is one of the few bugs I have noticed so far in the game, once I put a ring +2 in a gem bag and it changed into a ordinary gem ...

?? I tried that with the ring, but it just wouldn't let me ut the ring in. Do you have the patched version of BG2? As for the Beijuril, I have kept it hapily in the gem bag before. It's safer than a character because, when a character leaves a party, their Scrollcases/Gem Bags/Bag of Holding go into other character's inventories, unlike the rest of their items
