[PnP] new gems

[Burton Choinski]

Me and my daughter hit the Harvard Museum of Natural History.  In the Minerals section there were a lot of nice minerals and crystals that could be good gemstones.  I'm going to look about for the "common" names of some of them and any reputed magical properties and see about uploading a new set of gems to the list at some point.

And seemes to place them based on the typical random statistical population.  So a common say Salt is where a d100 would most often roll but a Item Y is not say a 91 where d100s ten dot less be that high and more in middle.
