Ri'saad, the Khajiit trader who travels between Whiterun and Markarth, will buy any Unusual Gems you happen to find during your travels. Selling a stone to Ri'saad will remove all associated journal entries for the quest "No Stone Unturned."

If you are not a member of the Thieves Guild, you can sell any Unusual Gems you find to Ri'saad. This option is only available if the player has not joined the Thieves Guild. This option is reversible and does not break the quest.

If you later decide to join the Thieves Guild, you have the option to buy the stones back from Ri'saad (at an increased cost, of course). You can resume the quest by talking to Vex. If you have completed the Moon Sugar quest for the Thieves Guild, Ri'saad will sell the stones back to you at a reduced rate.

This mod has fully voiced dialogue using Ri'saad's original voice.
