What is Gem Stone?
Gem stone also named as gemstone, gem, and jewel, is a piece of mineral, which is used to make jewelry or other adornments in cut and polished form. However, some are not mineral but rocks (such as lapis lazuli), or organic materials (such as amber or jet). Usually most gemstones are hard, but some soft minerals are used in jewelry too, as their lustre or other physical properties that have aesthetic value.
