Gems (currently Rubies, Sapphires, and Green Sapphires) are items added by RedPower 2. The only use for them is to make tools with the speed of Diamond tools but a durability of just 500. They cannot be crafted into armor. An Iron Pickaxe or better is required to mine gems. Originally, Green Sapphires were Emeralds, but once emeralds were added into Vanilla, the name was officially changed.

Usage[]
Every Gem can be used to make the following: Pickaxe, Axe, Shovel, Sword, Hoe, Sickle, Handsaw and a Gem Block of their respective type.
Tools and Weapons[]
Each of these are made with the same pattern as the vanilla versions, but using gems rather than materials like Iron Ingots and Diamonds. Like the Vanilla Tools, these are all enchantable with a Enchantment Table.
Pickaxes[]
The gem pickaxes are fast as Diamond Pickaxes, but have only 500 durability instead of 1560. They cannot mine obsidian.
Axes[]
The gem axes are fast as Diamond Axes, but have only 500 durability instead of 1560.
Shovels[]
The gem shovels are fast as Diamond Shovels, but have only 500 durability instead of 1560.
Hoes[]
Gem hoes have 500 durability. They are effectively the same as iron hoes.
Sickles[]
Gem sickles have 500 durability.
Swords[]
The gem swords are damaging as Diamond Swords, but have only 500 durability instead of 1560.
Handsaws[]
Gem handsaws have 500 durability.
Gem Blocks[]
The gem blocks are decorative/storage blocks and have no other use. They can be cut using a Gem handsaw or better.
