The Four Gemstones in Palworld: 2,000 to 5,000 Gold, and Nothing Else
Palworld has four gemstones — Ruby, Sapphire, Emerald and Diamond — and all four share the same description ending: "Can be sold to a merchant for a high price." That is not flavour text. It is their entire function. None of them is a crafting ingredient for anything.
They run 2,000 to 5,000 gold each, they all weigh 5, and they all stack to 9,999.
The Four Stones
| Gemstone | Rarity | Sell value | With Noble and Fine Furs | Weight | Stack |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Ruby | Common | 2,000 | 2,800 | 5 | 9,999 |
| Sapphire | Uncommon | 3,000 | 4,200 | 5 | 9,999 |
| Emerald | Rare | 4,000 | 5,600 | 5 | 9,999 |
| Diamond | Epic | 5,000 | 7,000 | 5 | 9,999 |
The ladder is exactly 1,000 gold per rarity tier, which is the tidiest scaling in Palworld's item economy — Common 2,000, Uncommon 3,000, Rare 4,000, Epic 5,000.
The merchant bonus is a flat 40% on all four. Five Pals carrying Noble (+5%) and Fine Furs (+3%) give x1.4 on every sale, which turns the Diamond's 5,000 into 7,000 and the Ruby's 2,000 into 2,800.
That 40% is worth 2,000 gold on a single Diamond — more than a whole Ruby — which makes the furs stack the first thing to sort out before selling a hoard.
They are colour-coded by description: Ruby "glows red", Sapphire "glows blue", Emerald "glows green", and Diamond "glows brilliantly".
Weight Is the Real Constraint
At 5 weight each, gemstones are heavy for what they are:
| Carried | Weight | Value (with furs) |
|---|---|---|
| 10 Rubies | 50 | 28,000 |
| 10 Diamonds | 50 | 70,000 |
| 100 Diamonds | 500 | 700,000 |
Gold per unit of weight is the number that matters: a Ruby returns 560 gold per weight with furs, a Diamond 1,400. If you are carrying out of a dungeon with a full bag, leave the Rubies and take the Diamonds.
The 9,999 stack is misleading. You will hit the weight limit thousands of stones before the stack limit, even with a Megingjord-equivalent carrying build — see our weight and partner skills guide.
They do not teleport-lock or spoil, so a home chest of gemstones is a perfectly good bank. The only cost of hoarding is the trip.
Where They Fit in the Gold Economy
Gemstones are one of several gold routes, and they are the most portable:
- A Diamond at 7,000 with furs compares directly against the top of the guaranteed gold payouts, which top out at 7,500.
- Gold Coin drops from Pals such as Mau — 100–200 at 50% — are trivially small by comparison.
- Dog Coin is a separate currency for the Black Marketeer and does not convert.
- Selling gear is usually worse per weight than selling stones.
The key difference is reliability. A guaranteed payout is a one-off tied to a location or a boss; gemstones are a repeatable, stackable, sellable commodity that any merchant takes.
Sell to whoever is nearest. With at least 21 registered Caravan Leader stops and merchants scattered across the map, gemstones do not require a trip to a specific vendor.
What to Actually Do With Them
- Sell all four. There is no crafting recipe waiting for a Diamond — the description is the specification.
- Get the furs stack running first. x1.4 on everything is worth more than any sorting decision you will make afterwards.
- Prioritise by weight when your bag is full. Diamond 1,400 gold per weight against Ruby 560.
- Bank them at home rather than carrying them. They stack to 9,999 and never spoil; the only reason to hold gemstones in your bag is that you are on your way to a merchant.
- Do not obliterate or scrap them. They are worth more than almost anything else of the same weight in your inventory.
One caution for shared servers. Gemstones look like crafting materials and get filed with them; a guild chest of "materials" can easily be hiding a hundred thousand gold nobody has noticed.

Conclusion
Palworld's four gemstones — Ruby, Sapphire, Emerald and Diamond — exist to be sold, and nothing else: every one of them ends its description with "Can be sold to a merchant for a high price", and none is a crafting ingredient. Their values ladder cleanly at 1,000 gold per rarity tier — Ruby 2,000 (Common), Sapphire 3,000 (Uncommon), Emerald 4,000 (Rare), Diamond 5,000 (Epic) — and the Noble and Fine Furs merchant stack adds a flat 40%, taking a Diamond to 7,000, which is more than a whole Ruby's worth of bonus on a single stone. All four weigh 5 and stack to 9,999, so weight, not stack size, is the constraint: a Diamond returns 1,400 gold per unit of weight against a Ruby's 560, which is the rule for deciding what to carry out of a full dungeon. A Diamond at 7,000 sits just under the 7,500 top of the guaranteed-payout table, with the advantage that gemstones are repeatable and any merchant takes them.
