A dwarf of mine is having a fey mood and has all the ingredients he requires except for a single cut gem, which we have plenty of, I have placed a gem stockpile near him but he doesn't care.
Anyone know why he is doing this?

[SpiralDimentia]

Is he perhaps asking for stacked cloth, as well?

Cloth thread, yeah, he has both of the cloth items.
Is this a bug?

[SpiralDimentia]

No, just some times when they ask for cloth, they want specific pieces.. like silk, or yarn. If he's asking for stacked cloth a few times, he may need more than one piece of various materials. He won't get gems, or anything else for that matter, until it's resolved. Do you have all 3 types of cloth?

Yes, he asks for it twice he has both (Using T).
I have silk, plant fibre, and yarn.
if he doesn't get anything still I'll use runesmith to turn his fey mood off and on again

[SpiralDimentia]

Well, what else is he asking for that isn't there?

[Edmus]

Cut gems.
which we have plenty of.
I might report this to bug catcher.

Try making green glass and cutting it?

Sometimes they want more than one of an item.
For example they might ask for bones, so you butcher an animal and they get one but still refuse to get the other ingredients until they get another bone or two from other freshly butchered animals. So it is worth making sure it has 2-3 of every item it is looking for available. From my experience this is the most common cause of stuck moods.
Another thing is that they could be looking for a specific kind of item that they like, it might help to look at its description and see what it likes.

We have no such gem...
dwarven caravan is still a year away.
plus he also asked for an uncut gem which he picked up normally.
I think I'll turn it off and on again...

Before I could do that she went berserk and started punching people, luckily A militia captain was nearby, she struck struck the berserker in the leg with her steel mace, fracturing it, the berserker collapsed in pain, the captain then proceeded to deftly smash in her skull.
...
Well at least I know the military is up to spec!
Then just for fun I made her a zombie.
which crashed the game...
so I deleted her.

Did you have any cut gems of the same type as the raw gem that they claimed? Sometimes they'll insist on their favorite type, especially if you have some. Always check their preferences if they stop grabbing stuff.
