These are meteorites, space rocks that have fallen from the heavens. They come in two varieties: Small and Large. Initial appraisal appears to be based on their weight, so naturally Large Space Rocks are worth more than Small Space Rocks. However, your sim may Analyze a space rock, which will result in it being one of the below types. Each type may be worth more or less than initial appraisal. Finding half the rocks makes it easier to find the other half, and finding all the rocks results in finding the more expensive ones more often.


Rocks can be found using the "Rocks and Gems" setting on the Collection Helper. Your sim may also spot a meteor falling while using the telescope, which will mark its position on the map.

Raw Gem Rarity Note
Diamond Rare
Emerald Common
Ruby Common

Cuts

Gems may be sent to the gem-cutter and cut into the following cuts. You start with the Emerald cut, and gain cuts by cutting gems.

The table lists both when you break even with a particular cut, and when a cut begins yielding better profit than the previous cut.

For example, if a gem is worth §47, an oval cut provides §51 while the Pear cut yields §47. Even though the Oval cut is lower, it provides more.

Image Cut Cost Worth Change Break Even Better Profit Requirement
Emerald §10 125% §40 - None

Metals

Metals are found in ore form, and can be smelted into ingots for §40.

Smelted ingots are worth 175% of their original cost, and so the raw metal must be worth $54 to break even.

Rocks

These are meteorites, space rocks that have fallen from the heavens. They come in two varieties: Small and Large. Initial appraisal appears to be based on their weight, so naturally Large Space Rocks are worth more than Small Space Rocks. However, your sim may Analyze a space rock, which will result in it being one of the below types. Each type may be worth more or less than initial appraisal. Finding half the rocks makes it easier to find the other half, and finding all the rocks results in finding the more expensive ones more often.

Rocks can be found using the "Rocks and Gems" setting on the Collection Helper. Your sim may also spot a meteor falling while using the telescope, which will mark its position on the map.
