DMG

This jewel appears to be nothing more than a wellcut
stone of not less than 5,000 gp value.

If magic is detected for, the
gem will radiate a faint aura of the enchantment sort. If any character
possesses the item, he or she will begin to feel its power after keeping
the gem on his or her person for one week. At the end of two weeks,
the individual will discover that he or she is able to understand things
more easily, have better insight, memory, recall, etc. In fact, possession
of the gem on a continuing basis (3 or more months) raises the intelligence
and the wisdom of the character by 1 point each. If for any
reason the gem is not kept beyond the 3-month period or longer, the
additional intelligence remains, but the 1 point of additional wisdom is
lost. Any one such gem will function but once every 50 years. If a character
possesses a second gem after benefitting from one already, the
second item will not increase either wisdom or intelligence, even if
wisdom was not permanently affected by the first gem.
