» Mon May 21, 2012 12:45 am For those who don't know what the Stones of Barenziah are - upon your travels, you might happen upon a small, floating purple gem, above a jewelry case. This will be called an "Unusual Gem". You then get a quest to get it appraised. To do so, you must take it to the Thieves Guild, in Riften, and ask Vex to have a look at it. She'll then state that it's a Stone of Barenziah, of which there are 24 in total - and guess what, it's your lucky day... You get a quest to travel the whole of Skyrim, searching for tiny gems!
So, given that these gems are scattered around Skyrim, and there's no list of locations yet, that's what this is for! Hopefully, we can get a detailed list of all 24 Stones of Barenziah, numbered chronologically as they were added to the list, and also by location. Full descriptions are needed for locations, too, not just "It was in Riften".
If you do find a gem that's not on the list, and you want to help out, you can do it in any way you please, but following this template will make it much, much easier for us, as we can just hop in-game and confirm it!

Description:
"Town" being the Town it's located in, "Building" being the building it's in, and "Description" being where it is in the building.
So, without further ado, the list!
