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.
