Gemstones, sometimes also referred to as precious stones or semi-precious stones are mostly minerals, rocks or glass melts, but also substances of organic origin such as amber, pitch coal or relatively small and elegant fossils. These have been chosen for their beauty, durability, and rarity and then cut or faceted and polished to make jewelry or other adornments.

One of the major properties of gemstones is whether they are classified as precious or semi-precious. This is a marketing term designed to make specific stones seem more rare or important than others. Precious gemstones have beauty, durability, and rarity, whereas semi-precious gemstones have only one or two of these qualities. Diamonds, emeralds, rubies, and sapphires are all considered to be precious, and thereby, the most valuable and most desirable. All other gemstones are considered semi-precious such as alexandrite, agate, amethyst, aquamarine, garnet, lapis lazuli, moonstone, opal, pearl, peridot, rose quartz, spinel, tanzanite, tourmaline, turquoise and zircon.
