Gem Description Updates and Standardization 10/24/2017 09:45 PM CDT
Hey folks,

A small number of gems have been updated to match our current QC standard. These changes are now live in all instances and will effect all future versions generated. Existing old stock will not be changed by this update.

Good change! We like standards. Especially when standardizing lets us make 'a thinger of' type descriptors for lapidary boxes.

can I piggy back on this thread and ask then if the following would fly for lapidary boxes -
"a tear drop of"
"A shard of"
"some splintered"
and stuff of that nature if it fits into the 15?

I was told this morning when I got my box done that "a(n) X of" would not work with the boxes due to it not working with gems... but that was prior to the update, and this update appears to correct that issue. A bit disappointing that I couldn't get my original requests due to that, but overall I'm very glad that this change has been rolled in if it means that future phrasing requests like that are okay.

I went to update the wiki list of gems and noticed this was twice in the post:

a round amber sea glass disk --> a round disk of amber sea glass

a hazy red sea glass disk --> a round disk of amber sea glass

The existing old stock changed such that they are no longer recognized as gems and can't be jarred or used for any gem purposes like warrior sheaths, cobbling, gem jewelry, etc.
