GemstonesEdit

Gemstones as infused gem spheres are used as a form of currency. Gemstones are also necessary for certain types of magic on Roshar. Their colors are represented on the more complex representation of the divine prism that has two sets of ten glyphspheres.

Each gemstone has an associated number, essence, body focus, Soulcasting property, and divine attributes.

Stormlight infused gemstones glow more brightly when properly cut. ^[1]
