[[File:Uncut emerald detail.png|100px|left|An uncut emerald.]]

An '''uncut emerald''' is a light green [[gem]] used in [[crafting]]. An uncut emerald can be cut by a player with 27 Crafting by using it with a chisel, granting 67.5 Crafting experience and making the Uncut emerald into an [[emerald]].

Emeralds can be obtained in several ways. Players can get them randomly while [[mining]] [[ore]]s, as drops from monsters or by selecting them as a reward from [[Random Event]] gifts. With level 40 [[mining]] and [[Shilo Village (quest)|Shilo Village quest]] completed players can mine the [[gem rock]]s in [[Shilo Village]]. Gem rocks may also appear while playing the [[Tai Bwo Wannai Cleanup]] activity, where players can mine them 3 times. A slow way to obtain uncut emeralds is [[Wall safe]] cracking in [[Rogue's den]], but this requires level 50 [[thieving]].

A cut emerald is a reward from the [[Pirates Treasure]] quest, and is one of the alchemised items in the [[Mage Training Arena]].

Emeralds may be sold to the Gem Store in [[Falador]] west of the castle, or to the gem traders in [[Keldagrim]], [[Al-Kharid]], and [[Ardougne]]. The TzHaar gem trader carries one uncut emerald in inventory and will sell it for 75 Tokkul.

[[Members]] can also use the [[Fletching]] skill to cut an emerald into [[emerald bolt tips]] by using a [[chisel]] on a 'cut' emerald at level 58 fletching. Cutting an emerald into bolt tips grants the player 5 [[experience]] in the fletching skill and gives the player 12 emerald bolt tips.

Uncut gems sell at a higher price than cut gems on the G.E.
