Sifting
To Sift Rubble Rubble, equip a Sifting Pan or Prospector's Pan and stand in The Shallows. Click Adventure -> Sift Rubble. This will change your mouse icon to a Sifting Pan, click again on The Shallows to begin Sifting. Each time you Sift it will consume 1x Rubble with a chance to get either Black Sand, Dravite, Goldflakes, Phosphophyllite, Rubellite, Uvarovite, or potentially nothing in return. You will have to repeat this process for each Rubble in your inventory or use a Custom Client which allows you to automate the Sifting.
Finding Any Raw Gem while Sifting reduces a bit of Insanity. Raw Gems have a variable number of Carats which can give a bonus to the Raw Gem's Affluence when cut on the Gemcutter's Wheel. Raw Gems also have a Hardness which refers to its odds of successfully being cut on a Gemcutter's Wheel. The Harder the Raw Gem, the less chance of success. Hardness is rolled when Sifting and is based on your Mines & Mountains Proficiency, the Mining bonus from Artifacts and chance.
Finding Any Raw Gem during a Blood Moon will instead give you a Blood Shard.
There is a chance that you will receive The Precious when Sifting if you have any Madness levels. This will crack Any Raw Gems in your inventory into Fractured Gemstone.
