Go sell it. Artifacts are insanely valuable, even if it's a mere perfect gem.

never took one to try in adventure mode.  i figured that since it's really a dwarf mode comment, i'd add that little bit in =D

I figure once we get proper markets and trade goods moving around by the end of the Caravan Arc, we should be able to sell artifacts.

1) Make artifact in dwarf mode. Sell for massive bux.
2) Fortress dies. Buy artifact from original buyer in Adventure Mode for the price of eight bison heads that took little effort to collect. Alternately, STEAL IT!
3) Put in spot where you plan to make new fortress.
4) Die.
5) Start new fortress in spot. Sell artifact for massive bux.

Etc.

Yeah, but eventually, after repeating that a few times, the gem will probably become less valuable due to being the village bicycle >_>

The obvious answer would be to use as  a weapon to kill elves with. Why'd it take you guys this long to think of it?
