"I had been sold for six copper tarsks.
It was my worth on Gor."

(Slave Girl of Gor, p. 251)

"Tupa was added to the chain after me. She brought
her captor only twelve copper tarsks."

(Slave Girl of Gor, p. 281)

"I brought Rask of Treve,
my captor, fifteen copper tarsks."

(Slave Girl of Gor, p. 281)

"She was very beautiful in the bit of slave silk.
I noted the bells locked on her left ankle. She was slender,
dark-haired, dark-eyed. Her eyes were wide. She had exciting
legs, well revealed by the slave-height of her brief silk.
'What do you want for her?' I asked Samos.
He shrugged. 'Four pieces of gold,' he said.
'I will buy her.'"

(Hunters of Gor, p. 15)

"Yesterday I would have regarded her as a
four-gold piece girl. But today lovely Ilene's value had
considerably increased. The auctioneer, I expected, would
close his fist on a price of ten gold pieces for her."

(Hunters of Gor, pp. 220 - 221)

"But I did, of course, pay them well and, in my
holding, knowing men, saw that they could have their pick of
some of Port Kar's most beautiful slave girls. I had purchased
the girl whom I had seen dance in the Page
Tavern, for forty pieces of gold."

(Raiders of Gor, p. 139)

"'You saw how I moved,' she challenged.
'Would it not have added a dozen gold pieces to my price?'
'Yes,' I said, 'it would have.'"

(Nomads of Gor, pp. 57-58)

Gems alone, no setting. Most gems are minerals that have developed under
favorable conditions to form crystals. Only
crystals that possess the three cardinal virtues
of beauty, durability and rarity can be
considered precious or semi-precious gemstones.

Item	Description	Gor Price	Earth Price (approx. for 1970s)
Amber	Per piece--Cabochon 12mm round/18 x 13mm oval: Amber is an organic gem, the hardened fossilized sap or resin from ancient pine trees. Every stone is unique, and the grader must be able to recognize the beauty of the final product from the rough stone. Colors: all varieties of cognac and golden yellow (from opaque to transparent), ivory, brown, green (moss), black (contains bark of trees or floor coverings of the forest). The most rare colors are blue and cherry	1-2 ST	$15 (avg.)
Amethyst	One carat: A variety of Quartz, colored a transparent to semi-transparent purple. The best color is a deep rich purple with a slight reddish undertone. Readily available in all sizes and shapes, and is considered reasonable in price.	90 CT	$9
Diamond, Schendi	1/10th carat	1 GT	$100
Diamond, Schendi	1/4 carat	2 GT, 9 ST	$290
Diamond, Schendi	1/2 carat	7 GT, 3 ST	$730

Jade/Jadeite	25 carat stone--25.0x18.0mm Cabochon Cut: Both types have colors ranging from brown to yellow to green, but only jadeite has a pink variety.

Another form, Nephrite, is found in less intense dark spinach greens, white, browns, and black	2 ST	$20
Onyx	10 carat stone: Onyx is the name given to chalcedony that is uniform in color, generally black or white. Onyx should not be confused with onyx marble, a banded stone that is a form of limestone	1 ST	$10.00
Opal	Per carat: Color is almost everything in Opals, and the more color the better. Reds, pink, yellow, and orange are harder to find, and therefore are more expensive. Green, blue, and violet are much more common. Some patterns, among many others, are Harlequin (mosaic), Pinfire, Flash, Flame, Flagstone, Ribbon, Peacock, Rolling Flash. Pattern isn't a factor in value, but rather color and the intensity of it.	3 ST, 50 CT	$35 (avg.)
Pearls	Per stone: Pearls are unique in that they are the only gemstone formed within a living creature (Oysters & Mussels). Quality factors that determine the beauty, rarity, and value--in descending order of importance--are size, luster & nacre thickness, surface blemishes, shape, color and match. The whiter the color, the greater the value. As pearls become more creamy yellow or green in color, their value decreases.	1-2 ST	$15 (avg.)
Ruby	Per carat: A variety of Corundum, rubies are one of the most-sought gemstones. Most fine eaxamples over 1.5 carats are more rare than diamonds, and more expensive	3 - 4 GT	$350 (avg.)
Sapphire	Per carat: Sapphires are one of the most popular gemstones. They come in almost every color except red, in which case they're rubies.

Sapphires have 6-ray stars, and some have a color-change ability	2 GT	$200
Tigerseye	50 carat stone--40.1x30.2mm Cabochon Cut: Chatoyancy, appearing in these varieties of quartz, is caused by fibrous inclusions. They are generally cut in cabochon, but are often cut also into round pieces for necklaces and pendants. Tiger's-eye is also used for carvings, boxes, ashtrays and other similar pieces. When the color is a greenish grey, they are called cat's-eye quartz. A golden yellow reflection on mahogany-colored stones are are called hawk's-eye	1 ST	$10
Topaz	Per carat: Colors of these stones are transparent yellow, yellow brown, orange brown, light to almost medium red, very light to light blue, very light green, and violet. to stones with sherry-red, deep pink, or reddish-orange colors	5 ST	$50
Turquoise	10 carat stone--20.0x15.0mm Cabochon Cut: Sky blue to bluish green gems, the name meaning "Turkish stone". Turquoise is porous, so contact with liquids, oils, or even perspiration should be avoided. Jewelry made with turquoise should be removed before washing hands or handling liquids. The pure blue color is rare. Most stones contain the matrix from where they were found, which makes each example unique. Although stones without matrix are rarer and more valuable, many people find those with a black matrix most attractive.	2 ST	$20
