Soul Gems are used to capture Souls in order to use their energy to recharge magical items or to create your own. For more information on this process, see Enchant and Soultrap. The gold values given on this chart are for empty soul gems. Once filled, the value will be higher, depending on the size of the soul.

Petty Soul Gem Petty Soul Gem Misc_SoulGem_Petty 0.2 10 30
Lesser Soul Gem Lesser Soul Gem Misc_SoulGem_Lesser 0.5 20 60

Grand Soul Gem Grand Soul Gem Misc_SoulGem_Grand 2.0 200 600
Azura's Star Azura's Star* Misc_SoulGem_Azura 2.0 5,000 15,000

* Azura's Star is a special soul gem, given as a reward for Azura's Quest, and is fully described on the Azura's Star article. Unlike other soul gems, it will not be destroyed when used, so you can use it again and again.

The price of a filled soul gem is: soul size × value of empty gem.
