== Perfect Gemstones ==
'''Perfect gemstones''' occur when one of the polestones forms without any flaws or imperfections which allows them to hold light indefinitely.{{book ref|sa3|i|13}} [[Spren]] living in [[Shadesmar]] use perfect stones to store the Stormlight they use for currency.{{book ref|sa3|99}} The [[King's Drop]] is a perfect gemstone that has been held in the [[Thaylen Gemstone Reserve]] for over two hundred years without being renewed or losing stormlight.{{book ref|sa3|i|13}} The [[Elsecallers]] were tasked with protecting perfect gems, including a ruby named [[Honor's Drop]].{{epigraph ref|sa3|83}}
== Transfer ==
It is possible to transfer light from filled, small gemstone to a large and empty gemstone of its type by holding the filled gemstone to the empty one.{{book ref|sa4|42}} This method of transfer is slow and inefficient, however the [[Thaylen|Thaylens]] discovered an efficient way of transferring Stormlight from one gemstone to another.{{book ref|sa4|42}} By using a tuning fork of a specific frequency, a person can touch an infused gemstone and then touch the fork to the empty gemstone for a rapid mode of transfer. It is unknown how far the tuning fork can be brought before transfer is impossible, or the decay rate.{{book ref|sa4|42}}
