Flavor Text A flat black sand without shine or glimmer, as may be found upon the shores of Cocytus' wailing depths. About Sands are used to make Glass Panes. To make a Glass Plane, mix together 12x Sand and 12x Black Sand using the Silicate Compound recipe. Silicate Compound can then be melted down into Glass by right-clicking a Crucible and using the Glass Pane recipe. When using a Crucible there is a chance to receive a Prince Rupert's Drop in addition to the item you are crafting. Sifting With Rubble in your Inventory and a Mineral Pan equipped allows you to use Sift Rubble action on The Shallows to wash your Rubble and reveal if there was Any Raw Gem, Black Sand, or Goldflakes hidden within. Raw Gems have both a variable number of Hardness which determines how difficult that Gem is to cut on Gemcutter's Wheel and a have a variable number of Carats determined purely on chance, which gives a bonus to the Cut Gem's Artifact stats and if over 1.00 carats, change that Gemstone's size. Finding Any Raw Gem during a Blood Moon will instead give you a Blood Shard. Finding Any Raw Gem while Sifting reduces a bit of Insanity.

When Sifting with any Madness levels you may receive The Precious which will crack Any Raw Gems you find into Fractured Gemstones.
