thumb|upright=1.1|Group of precious and semiprecious stones—both uncut and faceted—including (clockwise from top left) diamond, uncut synthetic [[sapphire, ruby, uncut emerald, and amethyst crystal cluster.]]
A gemstone is a mineral or crystal that is valued for its beauty and rarity, and can be either precious (like diamonds, sapphires, and rubies) or semiprecious (like emeralds and amethysts). Gemstones matter because they are prized for jewelry and decoration, and their value depends on qualities like their natural rarity and how they are cut and polished.
