All Cut Gemstones must be refined at a Replicator before it can be used in crafting and building.
About[]
Cut Gemstones are simply gemstones that is processed after you mine to gather gems. Like gems in the real world, the gemstones you gather need to be taken through a process to prepare it for making other items or for building.
After gemstone is refined it becomes the cut version. This means Ruby is only useful after it is refined to make Cut Ruby.
In Landmark, the refining process acts as a means to increase what you have to use. For example, 750 gathered ruby becomes 1000 cut ruby after it is refined.
The refining process stretches what players gather, but it also offsets any inventory overflow that can occur with some resources, since Inventory is split into a "stacks" for "raw" resources and refined materials.
