On Viridian and Cobalt, the type and color of the gem match with the island and archipelago names, olive and jade are shades of green charcoal, onyx and jet all black and crimson, garnet and jasper are red. Only one type of gem will spawn per day Pirate Time, and the daily gem types rotate in alphabetical order this restriction does not apply to foraged gems.

Originally, markets on capital islands named after Greek letters, on Midnight would purchase gems. Market gems are spawned at random times throughout the day, at randomly chosen islands outside their respective archipelago. Historically, spawned gems were sold at fixed price however, as of late newly spawned gems have higher price that gradually declines. Gems were added to the Cobalt and Viridian oceans in bugfix release and to Sage shortly afterwards the next day.

On newer oceans, without capital islands and with less consistent naming schemes, purchasing islands were chosen more or less centrally located, with an easy to remember name. Market gems are spawned at random times throughout the day, at randomly chosen islands outside their respective archipelago. The to purchase gems at market the sell price is related to the markets distance from the purchasing island the greater the distance that must be sailed, the lower the sell price, thus greater profit on the trade not accounting for travel expenses such as rum, shot, and loss of goods in battle.
