Gem Gloves are an item purchased from the Shop, providing a random Gem for each ore mined while the gloves are worn with at least one charge remaining. Note however that Gem Gloves do not provide gems while mining essence or gem veins.
Gem Gloves are widely considered to be extremely useful while 
Mining, as they are the fastest method of obtaining desirable gems, and are a reasonable choice for early game money making. Purchasing 2,000 charges costs 500,000 (or 250 per charge) and will provide gems that are worth on average 762,500, before doubling chances, for a profit of 262,500 if all gems are sold. Be aware however that 
Emeralds and 
Diamonds may be kept rather than sold due to their uses in other skills. The profitability increases by 50,000 if the player has read the 
Merchant's Permit, as this reduces the cost of these gloves by 10%.
Gem Drop Rates
Gem Gloves use the same drop table for gems as Mining normally, just with a 100% chance of receiving a gem per action:
