An Uncut diamond is a white gem used in Crafting. An uncut diamond can be cut by a player with 43 Crafting by using it with a chisel, granting 107.5 Crafting experience and making the uncut diamond into a diamond.
Uncut diamonds can be obtained in several ways. Players can get them randomly while mining ores, as drops from monsters or by selecting them as a reward from Random Event gifts. With level 40 mining and Shilo Village quest completed players can mine the gem rocks in Shilo Village. With level 75 Dungoneering, and being a member, you can mine Gem rocks in the Al Kharid mining site resource dungeon. Gem rocks may also appear while playing the Tai Bwo Wannai Cleanup activity, where players can mine them 3 times.They are obtainable from caskets. In addition, uncut diamonds are possible tips from the Gnome Restaurant activity. You can also get diamonds rather frequently from magpie's at level 47 summoning. This can be used in conjunction with any other training method as your magpie will randomly forage items even if you are doing nothing. They are however not guaranteed but can be common.They can also be obtained in the columbarium after using a key on a wooden alcove
If the player has not completed Fairytale III - Battle at Orks Rift a cut diamond is required to both enter and exit the marketplace in Zanaris. However, most players exit the marketplace via teleport or the fairy rings within the market that take you to Al-Kharid. Exiting in this way means you will not need to pay with a cut diamond in order to exit.
Diamonds may be sold to the gem store in Falador west of the castle, to the gem stall in the Ardougne marketplace, or to the gem trader in Al-Kharid. The TzHaar gem trader does not carry any uncut diamonds in inventory, but will sell one for 300 Tokkul, if they are in stock, which is very rare.
Members can also use the Fletching skill to cut a diamond into diamond bolt tips by using a chisel on a 'cut' diamond at level 65 Fletching. Cutting a diamond into bolt tips grants the player 7 experience in the fletching skill and gives the player 12 diamond bolt tips.
A single uncut diamond is a possible prize from the Squeal of Fortune. When choosing the option to convert this prize to coins, players receive 500 coins, which is 9,020 less than selling them on the Grand Exchange.
