This has bothered me for years. When George discovers the tripod in the Crune Museum and returns to Nico's apartment to discuss it, Nico brings out the magazine article and they talk about Peagram's excavation in Lochmarne. Towards the end of the conversation, Nico suggests that George should travel to Ireland and see if he can find out anything about Peagram's gem. The gem wasn't mentioned in the article or during the course of George and Nico's conversation. Nico just said it as if it was discussed. Then when George travels to Lochmarne, he asks all of the people there about the gem… Even though he never really knew about it beforehand. It has always bothered me that the gem just sort of popped up without being formally discussed prior. I wondered if maybe I missed something during a conversation or if the display case at the museum mentioned something about the gem. I haven't found anything. Haha, it always annoyed me in a strange way. All Revolution had to do was have George mention something about Peagram discovering a gem in Lochmarne when he was reading the article in Nico's apartment. It would've just been an extra sentence or two. Instead George goes to Lochmarne and miraculously somehow knows through divine intervention about a gem.

They know about the gem because, even though the museum only has the tripod, the parchment they have clearly shows the tripod and a gem, which they, in turn, associate with one Peagram may have been looking for in Ireland. It's easy to miss all this, I haven't played the game in a long time, therefore I'm not sure if there are any conversation clues you're missing, though I seem to think you're right in your assumption that it is never mentioned in dialogue.

Yeah, the two of them never mention it in the dialogue after George returns from the museum. Nico shows George he article about Peagram in the magazine, and they talk about the excavation site in ireland, how he quit his television show, etc. Then Nico says something to the effect of ," If you think Peagram's gem is important, why don't you travel to Lochamarne?" That's the first time the gem is mentioned. Like I said, it would've been an easy thing to just add a sentence or two to the dialogue that mentions the gem and has George make the connection to the manuscript. It's just an easy thing to miss when you are playing thru the game.

It's the description of the tripod at the museum that linked Peagram to the ongoing investigations of Nico and George at the time. According to that description, the tripod was found at Lochmarne, and that's where PEagram was having an excavation as well according to the article. Due to his mystical behavior of leaving tv shows and all that, I guess it's only natural for George and Nico to put two and two together into thinking he found something of importance. The fact they jump to the conclusion it must be the gem is a bit premature, but natural in all their excitement. Even if it was only a trifle in Peagram's eyes, they could still have asked him about it.
