Gemstone Wheel
Spin for a random gemstone — to name a character's ring, to put in a treasure chest or to draw.
Tip: Ctrl + Enter (⌘ + Enter on Mac) runs it, from the list or from the page.
How it works
- Keep all 20 stones or choose the Faceted gems or Polished and smooth stones preset.
- Spin and read the gem that lands.
- Use it in your story, treasure map or drawing.
What people use it for
Fantasy writing
Spin to choose the gem set in a magic ring or hidden in the dragon's hoard.
Treasure hunt
Hide a card with the gem name for each team to find.
Birthstone chat
Spin and ask each person what they know about the stone.
Questions
- Is it a guide to buying gems?
- No. It is only a list of names for games and ideas, with no values or quality information. Ask a qualified jeweller before you buy.
- Are they all gemstones in the strict sense?
- Not strictly: pearl and amber, for example, come from living things rather than from minerals. Edit the list if you want to keep only some.
