Notes
The colored versions of Gem Chip only appear in the loot window while prospecting the ore; they are changed to colorless when deposited in the player's inventory. The only exception to this rule are gem chips looted from Found Sack of Gems. Colored (ruby, amber, etc.) gem chips have no use or value beyond what a vendor NPC will pay for them.
Be careful to purchase only the colorless Gem Chip from the Auction House.
