What is a Gemstone?
A gemstone is a chunk of mineral crystal which has been cut and polished in the effort to bare its beauty on a piece of jewelry. Nevertheless, some rocks (such as lapis lazuli and opal) and organic materials (such as pearls and conch pearls) are also used in jewelry and are consequently also labeled as gemstones. Most gemstones are considered to be relatively hard, but other soft minerals are also used in jewelry due to their beauty, luster, rarity, notoriety, and aesthetic values.
Gemstones can be classified in a variety of ways including by color, hardness, refractive index, transparency, chemical composition, value, rarity, and so on. Golden Eiffel generally classifies gemstones as precious stones and semi-precious stones.
