It is worth noting that prospecting Rank 2 ore usually yields Rank 2 gems, except at times when I would get an inspiration proc. Rank 3 always yielded Rank 3 gems, but this heavily depends on where you've spent your Knowledge points. Also, please note that the sample size probably isn't high enough a the numbers should be taken with a grain of salt.I am 122 skill in JC, with 15 points in Enterprising and 25 points (max) in Prospecting.

Nice to know that there's no reason to prospect Khaz'gorite. That stuff is way way too rare.
