Cut emerald
Cut emerald is a cut gem: it comes from cutting the uncut gem at the artisan table, with Artisanry 27. It is the middle one of five qualities: three of one quality make one of the next.
Cutting
At the artisan table, with the artisan needle in your backpack: one uncut gem gives one cut gem and, always, a chipped gem as a bonus. It costs no gold.

Which veins drop it

| Copper | Mining 0 | 0.3% | 333 ores | 30% |

What it is used for
Once cut, it goes into the sockets of weapons and chest pieces that drop. It adds a fixed bonus, different in a weapon and in a chest piece, and once set it does not come out:
| Sockets | |
|---|---|
| In a weapon | +2% Crit chance |
| In a chest piece | +2% Evasion |
In one of its qualities, it is set at the artisan table to make these jewels (the materials say which one each needs):
