While wandering about the Rathe Mountains last night I happened upon a small
hut, where inside seemed to live a dwarf and a gnome. The dwarf babbled
some dribbel about dragonscale cloaks and armour, but the gnome had a much
more interesting story to tell. He told me he was in the jewelling
business, and that he had mastered a unique gem cutting technique. He asked
me if I needed a stone [cut] or if I needed some jewelry [repaired]. After
inquiring about how he was cutting these gems, he told me that he could do
it yes, but only to rare or exceptional stones, and asked me what kind of
stone I had. I lied, I told him I had every stone I had ever heard of, from
malachite to black sky diamonds, but he did not seem interested in and of
these. I asked him all about his repair services, and he told me that for a
small fee he would repair a piece of jewelry, but that this was more of a
hobby of his and would not comment further on it.

This gnome went by the name of Darfumple Zirubbel, his location in the Rathe
Mountains is about 5000, 900 (both positive). Perhaps you can garner more
information from him, and learn his gemcutting techniques.
