Gemstones are naturally occurring minerals or rocks that are prized for their beauty, rarity, and sometimes their durability.

 

These minerals are often cut and polished to be used in jewelry or ornamental objects. They come in a wide variety of colors and types, each with its own unique characteristics.

 

Some popular gemstones include diamonds, rubies, sapphires, emeralds, amethysts, and many more. They have been valued for centuries for their aesthetic appeal and sometimes for their perceived mystical or healing properties.
