An uncut sapphire is a precious gem used in Crafting. It can be cut with a chisel to make a sapphire, requiring 20 Crafting and yielding 50 experience.

Uncut sapphires can be obtained in several ways: randomly while mining ores, as drops from monsters (mainly those which have access to the rare drop table), gem shops, or as a reward from certain minigames and random events. They are also a common reward from Managing Miscellania.

With level 40 Mining and the quest Shilo Village completed, players can mine the gem rocks in Shilo Village. Gem rocks may also appear while playing the Tai Bwo Wannai Cleanup activity, where players can mine them 3 times. Another method to get uncut sapphires is by cracking wall safes in the Rogues' Den, but this requires level 50 Thieving.

Trivia

  • In real life, both sapphires and rubies are composed of the same mineral: corundum. Despite this, rubies require a higher Crafting level to cut than sapphires in Old School RuneScape.
