 * The Sifting Machine is a special-purpose machine used to potentially obtain Gems instead of gem dusts from purified crushed ores. Overall, the Sifting Machine produces about the same amount of gems+dusts as straight processing to dusts would, but if you need gems then this is the easy way to get some. Additionally, the Sifting Machine is GregTech's best way of obtaining Quartz, Lapis, and Coal. (In GregTech 5 Unofficial, the Sifter's output is increased for many gems, including Diamond, Sapphire, Ruby, and other materials that are normally thought of as gemstones. The Sifter's yield for these is up to 130%, with 80% being normal gems or better, and 50% being dusts and flawed/chipped gems. This makes the Sifter optimal for almost every ore it can process.)
