Prospecting is a Jewelcrafting ability which allows the gathering of gems from raw ore and can be obtained via the Mining skill. Five ore of the same type are consumed per prospecting attempt and produces 1-3 gems, with the most common result being a single gem prospected. The gems acquired are of types which could be found by mining a mineral node of the type of ore consumed. For example, prospecting [Iron Ore] can produce [Jade] and [Citrine], which would normally be found on an iron node.
Only common ores can be prospected. [Dark Iron Ore] and quest ores that are not used in crafting cannot be prospected.

Results
Prospecting, like disenchanting, can be boiled down to a fairly simple set of rules. When ore is prospected the results fall into three probabilities:
- [Adamantite Powder] is not junk, however, and is used to create [Mercurial Adamantite], which is used by many recipes.
- Common gems - Each ore has a set of gems that result from the majority of attempts. Every gem in an ore's common results has the same probability of being found.
- Sometimes 2 of the gems in this group are found.
- [Star Ruby] from [Thorium Ore] is an exception to this rule; its drop rate is higher than the other common gems found in [Thorium Ore]
- Uncommon gems - Each ore has a set of rare result gems. Like the common gems, each gem in this group share the same probability of being found in the target ore.
Note that prospecting ore will never grant a skill point in Jewelcrafting.
- All the percentages in this table were derived from data at Wowhead.
- More than one gem can be found on each prospect, so these numbers don't add up to 100%!
Recently there has been a bug where, while prospecting, the looting window lags and deletes the ore, gems, and powder.
