Values are base inventory values, not merchant buy prices which shift with Speech and perks. Level columns show when gems appear in loot and merchant stock. Diamonds, emeralds, and flawless gems never appear in merchant stock by level table. Gems are used for rings, necklaces, Atronach Forge recipes, and quests like The Only Cure and Ringmaker. Geodes on Solstheim can yield gems by type.
