SO MANY!

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

What do I do with them all?
There all from one deposit, by the way. And I have more coming.

[jc6036]

Dig out a 5x5 room, get some bins, and start stockpiling

[Oaktree]

Start decorating.  Furniture, militia uniforms, whatever.

Or less valuable gem windows to put little flashing blue lights all over the fortress.

[arcangelsd]

Turn them into windows
gem windows, "Y"
And if you use gems for 1+ colors, you obtain a color-shifting window
Ideal for giving your dwarves (or yourself) epileptic attacks
Also makes them ˇˇHAPPYˇˇ

Edit: Oh, got ninjae'd! I seriously need to write faster

[Girlinhat]

Do gem windows work in stonesense?  If so, decorate an above-ground fort with them strategically, to give signal lights or somesuch.

This just in: my baron is running around naked banning the export of barrels.
WTF?

I think it's time for the baron to have a little meeting with Tun the Forgotten Beast.

Dwarf. Case closed.

[noah22223]

This is Genesis, and a sylvan elf just warned me about the tree's. My leader is a legendary axedorf. You know how that went.

I don't see anything unusual in his behaviour.
Why do you say it?

[Girlinhat]

With the amount of gems you have there, I'm tempted to say that they are, indeed, fucking.

[varnish]

I can't even imagine how that would work. The mind rebels.

Gem windows are a delight for all to see, plus they get rid of three gems each. That is how I like to invest my most useless gems.

[Oaktree]

I have a cage with animals that make it sort of blink red, yellow, green.  I should find the right gems and put traffic lights in the busy sections of the fortress to keep the chaos more orderly.  Or a nice blinking red one on the face of that magma trap -- here troll-ie troll-ie...

[uncool]

I personally like to save my gems, because of a rarely-noticed fact:

Uncut gems are the one and only unrenewable resource in the game. Absolutely everything else (that I can think of) can either be regrown or traded for, but you will always eventually run out of gems by moods. The only way to not care about this (assuming you don't add gems or anything like that) is to simply power through by having enough children to not care about people lost to failed moods.

Surpluses gems Ehyy, so you make the flashy windows in the glass furnace yeah? I would always just hoard them in a massive stock pile and imagine my dwarves swimming in it.
