You'd
think someone else would have learned by now, but they haven't, mostly
because
he doesn't take TOO much off the top.

The party thinks that he just has a thing for gems. He'll take them as
his share
most any time, at the correct assessed value, no cheating ro anything.
Why would
he do that? Because the Mend spell will repair 1 carat's worth of flaw
in a gem.
If you recall, my gems have a value equal to the product of the gem
type's
intrinsic worth in gold per carat and the number of carats, with flaws
subtracted. Each flaw has a size in carats, and the amount that each
carat of
flaw reduces the value of the gem. So a flawed gem (and most are) can be
practically worthless. But a repaired gem can be worth a lot. Wizards
into
things like magicked gems like Mend...
