[[Tiberium]] is an extraordinarily rare and potentially very valuable gem. (It Representsrepresents Thethe TiberuimTiberium Crystalcrystal Inin ''Command And Conquer: TiberuimTiberium war)Wars''. The raw rock is worth §75-125. In the inventory (either as ore or cut) it will give a negative "Visceroidal Nausea" moodlet (-25 mood).

*Small Spire Cut (§65006,500)

*Heart-Shaped Cut (§10001,000)

No matter what the cut is, a non-large cut of Tiberium will grow into a Large Spire Cut within a day, giving it a value of around §40,000 or higher in some cases. Large cuts of Tiberium gems do not morph into Large Spire cuts.

Gems may be sent to the gem-cutter by mail and cut into the following cuts. Starting with the emerald cut, and Sims gain cuts by cutting increasing numbers of gems.

Geode & Septarian Nodules only have polished split and heart-shaped cut, while Tiberium only has Spire and Heart-Shaped cut.

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 §70 while the Pear cut yields §82. Factoring in the cost of the gem and the cost of cutting the gem, the Oval cut provides a §3 profit while the Pear cut yields no profit. The Pear cut does not start providing more profit than the Oval cut until the original worth is §60, as listed below.
