A gemstone is a mineral, rock, or organic material that is cut, polished, and used in jewelry or decorative items due to its beauty, rarity, and durability. Some gemstones are precious or semi-precious, depending on their value and characteristics.
Key Characteristics of Gemstones:
1.Beauty: Includes color, luster, brilliance, and optical effects.
2.Durability: Refers to hardness, toughness, and stability.
