Tiberium is a special gem.  As an ore, it is worth §75-125.  When the ore is kept in inventory, your sims will become nauseous.  If left out, there's a good chance the ore will change into a Large Spire Cut which glows green.  You can also get it cut yourself but this is only Spire Cut and is not nearly as valuable.  In both ore and spire form, it periodically puts off a glowing green "splash" and has a soft "ping" sort of noise that goes off at the same time.  In Large Spire form it is incredibly valuable - upwards of 40,000 simoleons.

With EP1: World Adventures, your sims that learn martial arts skills can get gems by breaking Space Rock Blocks instead of boards.
  
 
The rarest gems, Rainbow Gem and Pink Diamond, can be an almighty pain to find due to their extremely low spawn rates.  Below are the spawn locations for those two rarest gems in Sunset Valley.  You may have to wait quite a while for the gems to spawn there, but at least you know where to go to look.  These may not be complete spawn locations - they may spawn in more locations than these.

Tiberium

Tiberium is a special gem. As an ore, it is worth §75-125. When the ore is kept in inventory, your sims will become nauseous. If left out, there's a good chance the ore will change into a Large Spire Cut which glows green. You can also get it cut yourself but this is only Spire Cut and is not nearly as valuable. In both ore and spire form, it periodically puts off a glowing green "splash" and has a soft "ping" sort of noise that goes off at the same time. In Large Spire form it is incredibly valuable - upwards of 40,000 simoleons.

Finding Gems

Gems can mostly be picked up using the "Collect" action finding raw gems laying on the ground around the neighborhood. Gem spawn is not linked to the number of gems your sim has already found or anything like that. Certain gems will spawn in particular locations and cannot be spawned elsewhere. Each location can have several gems that can spawn there at different rates.

You can also find gems rummaging in peoples' trash as well as exploring the catacombs of the mausoleum.

With EP1: World Adventures, your sims that learn martial arts skills can get gems by breaking Space Rock Blocks instead of boards.

The rarest gems, Rainbow Gem and Pink Diamond, can be an almighty pain to find due to their extremely low spawn rates. Below are the spawn locations for those two rarest gems in Sunset Valley. You may have to wait quite a while for the gems to spawn there, but at least you know where to go to look. These may not be complete spawn locations - they may spawn in more locations than these.

Rainbow Gem Spawn Locations

Near the beach, across the road from the three vacant lots on Redwood Pkwy, between a large pine tree and a big rock. On a small hill to the right of the path leading up to the mine on Pinochle Point. Right behind Outstanding Citizen Warehouse Corp, near the dumpster and pink tree. May spawn outside the fence, or inside it.


Pink Diamond Spawn Locations
