Sparkling, glistening and showing off a rainbow of colorful hues, gemstones are made from minerals, rocks and organic matter. Formed within the Earth’s crust, and brought to our attention as a result of volcanic activity and geographical changes, there are all kinds of gems available. From stones that have captivated us for centuries, like rubies, sapphires and diamonds, to less well-known gems like agate, citrine and morganite, our planet boasts a dazzling library of gemstones.
Agate
Widely known for it’s glossy, opaque aesthetic, agate is a striped chalcedony. It typically forms in volcanic rock or lava and is made of silicon dioxide.
Amethyst
This is by far one of the most popular gemstones on the market today. The value of this gemstone has always been noted on the market.
Aquamarine
Deriving its name from the Latin word for sea, this gemstone does have the aesthetic of clear, blue water. However, it can be discovered in shades ranging from light blue to blue-green.
Citrine
A variety of quartz, this gemstone is a beautiful, vibrant yellow. The name of the stone is derived from the word ‘lemon’ in French.
Diamond
Diamond is known as being the hardest mineral that you can discover on Earth. Even the name of this mineral is derived from ‘adamas’ which in Greek means unbreakable.
Emerald
The name of this gemstone is derived from ‘smaragdus.’ In Greek this simply means green and it is another variety of beryl. It is largely considered to be the most valuable gemstone which is green in color.
Garnet
A rare exception, this is not a single mineral. Instead, the name refers to a collection of minerals that are closely related. While there are many different colors of this particular group of minerals, the main shade is dark red.
Jade
This name is provided for two different gemstones – jadeite and nephrite. Due to being nearly identical in aesthetic qualities, it has only been recently, that a distinction was made between the two.
Lapis Lazuli
An aggregate gemstone, it is created from several different minerals. The main ones are pyrite, calcite, and lazurite. With golden pyrite freckles and deeply rich, blue, opaque quality, this stone is stunning.
Morganite
This is the pink variety of beryl. The color is created when a slight level of manganese enters the structure of the crystal. The stone received its name from George Kunz. It was named after his friend J.P. Morgan who also happened to be a gem collector.
Opal
Romans believed opal to be the most precious gemstone of all and it’s not difficult to understand why. After all, it does have a kaleidoscopic aesthetic and provides many of the colors of different gemstones.
Pearl
Pearls are unique because rather than being formed by minerals they are created from living organisms. Grown within the shells of mollusks, these stones are spherical in shape and calcium carbonate based.
Quartz
One of the most common gemstones, quartz actually describes a family of different stones. There are a variety of different versions of quartz, many of which we have mentioned.
Ruby
Derived from the Latin term ‘ruber,’ rubies are known for their stunning red shade. Due to their rarity, these gems are often incredibly expensive.
Sapphire
As with ruby, a sapphire is a form of corundum. Typically blue, other colors are found in the world, including those that have yellow or orange hues.
Topaz
Available in a wide variety of different colors, including pink, yellow, green and blue it is often treated to ensure it does have a blue color. Allochromatic, impurities, and imperfections are the cause of the colors found in topaz.
Tourmaline
The slim structures of this stone in its natural form change color from one end to the other. There is a massive variety of different colors of this stone available including orange, pink and green.
Turquoise
An ancient gemstone, it is popular on an international level. It is typically stabilized and this process improves durability while providing a deeper hue of color.

About Gemstones
Gemstones vary in terms of their size, color and density, but they share indescribable beauty and longevity. Gems have a diverse range of uses. Some appear in museum and gallery exhibits, some are polished and restored for interior displays, and some are used to create stunning pieces of jewelry or keepsakes. In their roughest form, gemstones are not the glimmering jewels we’re used to seeing. They can often resemble pebbles or small stones, and the way they are cut and polished can make all the difference to their clarity and vivid color.
The sheer number of gemstones that are present on our planet is staggering, and each stone has its own story. Formation techniques vary, with some gems being created by crystallized molten lava or volcanic streams, and others growing with the help of other organisms much closer to the surface. New minerals can also develop when existing stones recrystallize. Gemstones are often categorized according to the type of mineral, the color, the cut, the clarity and the weight, and more thorough certification techniques can provide details about the origins of the stone.
