    Are gems in those spheres mined or exclusively from gemhearts?

    Brandon Sanderson

    Some are mined. Mining is not easy on Roshar.

    In Mistborn Vin had a set of sapphire jewelry. If Demoux had brought those to Roshar, would become infused in a highstorm?

    Brandon Sanderson

    Yes.

    With Stormlight, the better the gem is cut, the less Stormlight it leaks, and the longer it holds its charge. If a gem was perfectly cut, on a molecular scale, would it leak Stormlight at all?

    Brandon Sanderson

    In a theoretical flawless gem, then no it would not.

    Alterodent

    Would it actually give off light?

    Brandon Sanderson

    Ooh... Theoretically no it would not, but it's not what you're thinking...

    Alterodent

    No no no, that’s not what I’m thinking, I figured that’s something totally different.

    Brandon Sanderson

    Well, actually, it probably would still give off light, because it's drawing out of the Spiritual Realm. So I’d say it still lights, but it doesn't leak. The leaking is not where the illumination is coming from. The illumination is coming from a direct... It's basically a lightbulb screwed into the Spiritual Realm.

    Did Shardplate always have gemstones, or were they added later, after the Recreance?

    Brandon Sanderson

    They were added, but maybe not just after the Recreance. (Further clarification, and Brandon stated that they were added to Shardplate about the same time that the discovery was made that adding a gemstone to a Shardblade would allow it to be bonded. I suspect that before that, the Plate was form locked, and couldn't adapt to it's wearer)
