  • Good answers you got from your friends above.

    However, I think you may even mean:

    Gem
    Jewel
    Precious stone
    Semi-Precious stones

    Anything can be a Jewel (q.v.). Even a pretty plastic stone can be called a jewel. A gem is about the same.

    However, There a limited number of stones that are allowed to be called %26quot;Precious Stones%26quot;, like Diamond, Ruby, Sapphire, etc.

    Semi-Precious is used with regards to any stone that can (when worked, polished, etc.) have a value. That is %26quot;real%26quot; (market), %26quot;intrinsique%26quot;, etc.

    So, if you polish a stone from the beach, well enough that it really looks beautiful, then it would be a Gem, Jewel, and a Semi-Precious stone (especially if you can sell it). 0% 0 Votes
