Compare socket effects

These 9 gems share a socket label with Glimmering Fire Opal and list 9 distinct effect descriptions. Compare the effect and the equipment item-level floor together.

A shared socket label alone does not establish that both gems work in the same piece of gear.

Minimum item level refers to the equipment receiving the gem. The character-level requirement is a separate item restriction. An unspecified value leaves that requirement unconfirmed; check the item tooltip before buying. These comparisons use recorded effects without estimating damage, healing or a best-in-slot ranking.
