Schendi Sapphire::
One of her most famous and precious, exports are the small carved sapphires of Scehndi. These are generally a deep blue,but some are purple and others, interestingly, white or yellow. They are usually carved in the shape of tiny panthers,but sometimes other animals are found as well, usually small animals or birds. Sometimes however the stone is carved to resemble a tiny kailiauk or kailiauk head.

Explorers of Gor, page115
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Emerald
I saw the scabbard was set with six stones. Emeralds. Perhaps not of great value, but worth taking. Outlaw of Gor, page 176
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Opal, Common and Fire ; Sereem Diamond:
Before Suleiman, now, there lay five stones, three sereem diamonds, red, sparkling, white flecked, and two opals, one a common sort, milky in color, and the other an unusual flame opal, reddish and blue. Opals are not particularly valuable on Earth, but they are much rarer on Gor; these were excellent specimens, cut and polished into luminscent ovoids; still, of course, they did not have the value of the diamonds.
Tribesman of Gor, page 92
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Pearl:
"They are probably false stones," I said, "amber droplets, the pearls of the Vosk sorp, the polished shell of the Tamber clam, glass colored and cut in Ar for trade with ignorant southern peoples."
Nomads of Gor, page 20
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Ruby:
I thrust out the silver paga goblet, studded with rubies, and Telima, standing beside my thronelike chair, filled it.
Raiders of Gor, page 223
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Sapphire:
"You will note," he said, "that you wear a common slave leash and collar. There is nothing unusual or valuable about them. The collar, for example, is neither set with sapphires nor is it trimmed with gold. The leash, similarly, is of plain but sturdy material. Both devices are quite ordinary, but, of course, quite efficient."
Kajira of Gor, page 337

The life of a slave is a life wholly given over to love. It is not a compromised life. It is not part this, and part that. It is a total way of life, a total life. There are no bargains made with her, no arrangements.

Emerald: Green gem, six of which are worth perhaps fifty silver tarsks.

I saw the scabbard was set with six stones. Emeralds. Perhaps not of great value, but worth taking. Outlaw of Gor, page 176


Opal, Common: One of two types of opals found on Gor, milky in color. The opal is worth much more on Gor than on Earth.

Before Suleiman, now, there lay five stones, three sereem diamonds, red, sparkling, white flecked, and two opals, one a common sort, milky in color, and the other an unusual flame opal, reddish and blue. Opals are not particularly valuable on Earth, but they are much rarer on Gor; these were excellent specimens, cut and polished into luminscent ovoids; still, of course, they did not have the value of the diamonds.
Tribesman of Gor, page 92

Opal, Flame: A much more unusual opal than the common milky sort, it is reddish and blue in coloring and more valuable than the same stone if sold on Earth.

Before Suleiman, now, there lay five stones, three sereem diamonds, red, sparkling, white flecked, and two opals, one a common sort, milky in color, and the other an unusual flame opal, reddish and blue. Opals are not particularly valuable on Earth, but they are much rarer on Gor; these were excellent specimens, cut and polished into luminscent ovoids; still, of course, they did not have the value of the diamonds.
Tribesman of Gor, page 92


Pearl: The pearl of the vosk sorp seems to be worth almost nothing, being spoken of as a false stone.

"They are probably false stones," I said, "amber droplets, the pearls of the Vosk sorp, the polished shell of the Tamber clam, glass colored and cut in Ar for trade with ignorant southern peoples."
Nomads of Gor, page 20


Ruby: Presumably the same as the earth stone, its cost is not mentioned but assumably it would be a precious stone.

I thrust out the silver paga goblet, studded with rubies, and Telima, standing beside my thronelike chair, filled it.
Raiders of Gor, page 223


Sapphire: A presumably valuable stone, neither its color nor cost is mentioned.

"You will note," he said, "that you wear a common slave leash and collar. There is nothing unusual or valuable about them. The collar, for example, is neither set with sapphires nor is it trimmed with gold. The leash, similarly, is of plain but sturdy material. Both devices are quite ordinary, but, of course, quite efficient."
Kajira of Gor, page 337


Sereem Diamond: A very valuable stone, sereem diamonds are red with white flecks.

Before Suleiman, now, there lay five stones, three sereem diamonds, red, sparkling, white flecked, and two opals, one a common sort, milky in color, and the other an unusual flame opal, reddish and blue. Opals are not particularly valuable on Earth, but they are much rarer on Gor; these were excellent specimens, cut and polished into luminscent ovoids; still, of course, they did not have the value of the diamonds.

You know, I didn't know the days of the week were every specifically named; I was thrilled to find quotes on the names of the month.  Any idea where the quote on the days of the week came from, so I could maybe place that sort of info on the webpages?

-grins- I have no idea where to find the quote online and don't want to go hunting through my Gor books, so I'll let someone else answer this one.
