    Edit: Added Intelligence and mana/5 seconds

    So when you ask a jewelcrafter for these gems, remember that 1 gem is all thats needed, the cut is the first "word" in this writeup (bright, jagged, smooth etc) and the name of the gem he needs is the rest. (Blood garnet, Living Ruby, shadow draenite etc)

    About the meta gems..
    For a meta gem to give its bonus, you need to have socketed several other gems first...the meta gem will tell you which are needed (2 yellow, 1 red etc) "

    If you have 8 [Spirit Shard]s from the bosses in Auchindon (Tombs, Cyrpts, Halls, Labs) you can buy a Meta Gem from a vendor in Stonebreaker Hold.
    I watch Fox News, it's like wearing tight shoes, so you feel good when you take them off.

    Getting Meta Gems is the only real use I've found so far for Spirit Shards, the rewards you get from them just aren't all that exciting for the most part. Although the Meta Gems that they sell aren't so hot either. Plus, when buying a Meta Gem, make certain you have enough other gems to power it, or it's completely useless to you.
