The gem size defines the three denominations of spheres (chip, mark, and broam), and therefore a fixed exchange rate between the different denominations of spheres of the same type. Within the same gem type, each broam is equivalent to four marks,{{wob ref|10400}} and each mark is equivalent to five chips{{book ref|sa1|3}} - making a broam equal to twenty chips.
 
The gem type is a little more complicated. The value of each type of sphere - and, therefore, the relative values of all types - is intrinsically tied to how valuable the given gemstone is in Soulcasting. This makes emeralds -- which can be used to Soulcast grain -- the most expensive kind of spheres,{{book ref|sa1|3}} while diamonds are the cheapest. The rest of the sphere types, however, don'tdo not all have unique values; instead, they fall within one of three tiers: '''prime pair''', '''middle weight''', and '''less weight'''.{{wob ref|10402}} Combined with the emerald and diamond spheres, this establishes a system with five distinct value tiers. The table below outlines the five tiers, lists the sphere types within each tier, and provides their monetary value expressed in '''diamond chips''', the smallest denomination of the least valued gemstone.

=== Ends ===
Glass spheres that do not contain a gemstone are known as '''ends'''. They serve as fake money that can be used to play wagering games such as [[pieces]] if the players do not wish to risk real spheres.{{book ref|sa3|40}}
