Red topaz

Red topaz is a type of semi-precious gem. It can be either obtained using the Mining skill from the Shilo Village's gem rock or a random gem rock during the Tai Bwo Wannai Cleanup minigame, or from panning at the Digsite near the River Salve.

Red topaz can be cut with a chisel by a player with 16 Crafting although there is a chance that the player will accidentally crush it. Successfully cutting a red topaz grants to player 25 Crafting experience, but if they crush the gem they will receive only 6.3 Crafting experience.

Red topaz is not used in the creation of jewellery, but can be cut into red topaz bolt tips for use in creating red topaz bolts.

Cut red topaz may be sold to Gabootys Tai Bwo Wannai Cooperative for 120 trading sticks, uncut may be sold for 24. The gem is hard to obtain on the Grand Exchange, however, so players may wish to think twice about doing that if they have not yet completed the medium Karamja Achievement Diary.

Red topaz exists in RuneScape Classic, but it is only useful in the Legends Quest, other than players being able to sell it to the general shops for money.
