OESRi'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.

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Community-approved with 847 endorsements and over 400k downloads—clearly a popular fix.
- Solves a common annoyance: you can finally sell those gems without committing to the Thieves Guild questline.
- Lightweight and focused—does exactly what it says, no bloat.
⚠️ Cons
- Last updated in 2018—may have compatibility issues with the latest Skyrim versions or other mods.
- Only affects the selling mechanic; doesn't change the quest itself or add new content.
- Requires you to find Ri'saad, which might be a trek if you're not near a caravan.
For Skyrim players who hate the Thieves Guild questline but want to clear those Unusual Gems from their inventory. Also for completionists who want a clean way to dispose of them. Skip if you enjoy the Thieves Guild or want a more comprehensive overhaul.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Make sure to place the mod in your load order after any mods that alter Ri'saad or the Thieves Guild.
- If you're using a mod manager, let it handle the file placement to avoid overwriting issues.
- Check if your Skyrim version is compatible—since the mod is from 2018, you might need to test it with your current setup.
