An '''Uncut sapphire''' is a blue [[gems|gem]] used in [[Crafting]] and [[Fletching]]. An uncut sapphire can be cut by a player with level 20 crafting by using it with a [[chisel]], which makes the uncut sapphire into a [[sapphire]] and yields 50 crafting experience.

Uncut sapphires 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 events|Random Event]] gifts. With level 40 [[mining]] and the [[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 quick way to get uncut sapphires is [[Wall safe]] cracking in the [[Rogues' Den]], but this requires level 50 [[thieving]]. Sapphires also can be found on top of a large hill covered by spiders in the [[Wilderness]], just south of the Wilderness [[Members]]' Fence, west of the Greater Demon Ruins, on [[Trollweiss Mountain]], and on a small island near the [[Rock crab]]s in [[Rellekka]] (obtain using [[Telekinetic Grab|Telekinetic grab]]). Uncut sapphires can also be found in the [[King Black Dragon Lair]]. Uncut sapphires are also a common reward of the [[Gnome Restaurant]] activity and from [[Managing Miscellania]]. Also, uncut sapphires can be bought from the [[Gem Trader (stall)|Gem Shop]].

[[Members]] can use the [[Fletching]] skill to cut a sapphire into [[sapphire bolt tips]] by using a [[chisel]] on a 'cut' sapphire at level 56 fletching. Cutting a sapphire into bolt tips grants the player 4 [[experience]] in the fletching skill and gives the player 12 sapphire bolt tips.

There is a cave to the north-west of Rellekka where up to 8 uncut sapphires can be mined for [[The Tale of the Muspah]] quest. These rocks do not respawn.

==Trivia==
* Prior to the introduction of the [[Grand Exchange]], the examine text on uncut stones said 'This would be worth more if it was cut'. However after the Grand Exchange was introduced, such description no longer matched the actual market facts and thus this was changed.
* During the Bonus EXP Weekend of September 2011, there was a glitch affecting all uncut gems; the gems appeared black in the character's hand while cutting them.
* When cutting the sapphire the picture shows an uncut sapphire, instead of a cut one, like all the other gems excluding the red topaz.
