This is an issue which affects Tradeskilling as well as Collections. There are some items in the game which serve no purpose except to confuse players. Items which serve no purpose or can be confused as tradeskill materials (but which cannot be used as such): Refined Aquamarine Refined Adamantite Refined Black Pearl Refined Quartz Refined Ruby Refined Topaz Pristine Ruby Exquisite Emerald Exquisite Malachite Exquisite Pearl Exquisite Peridot Exquisite Opal Exquisite Onyx Immaculate Amethyst Immaculate Bloodstone Immaculate Garnet Immaculate Gold Beryl Immaculate Nephrite Immaculate Sapphire Flawless Azurite Flawless Amber Flawless Jade Flawless Nacre Flawless Turquoise Flawless Rose Quartz Flawless Red Beryl cracked malachite cracked crystal shard Pristine Moonstone Pristine Obsidian Faceted Agate Veiled Agate Agate Geode an elestial crystal Agate Ring Agate Earring Agate Bracelet Pristine Agate Gem Clouded Agate lustrous mineral cluster shiny mineral cluster crystalline mineral cluster unearthed copper earring unearthed copper necklace unearthed copper ring oxidized copper axe golden cichlid
Alot of those are gems used to make armor from KOS raid zones like laboratory of lord Vymm Relic armor i believe. others i do not know for sure. So some do serve a purpose Refer to this: http://eq2.wikia.com/wiki/Relic_Gem...hetype_and_Slot
I once bought one for mega gold thinking it was the rare. Talk about spitting my teeth I think these are used for that gear made by the NPC at the bottom of Solusek.
These are the gems you need for T7 Relic Armor. The gems drop in places like Sanctum of the Scaleborn, Halls of Fate, and other T7 dungeons and instances. The gems are used in connection with Relic Patterns that drop in T7 raids, such as in Labs of Lord Vyemm. Once you have a pattern, you get the three gems for your class for that piece, and take it all to the Infernal Forge of Ages in Solusek's Eye ( -67, -625, -48 ). The NPC smith there will make your class-specific relic armor piece for you.
