What is a Gem?
A gem is generally defined as any mineral that is highly prized for its beauty, durability, and rarity, that is used for personal adornment and has been enhanced in some manner by altering its shape - usually by cutting and polishing. The majority of the gems are cut from crystals of minerals.
Qualities a gem possesses:
Beauty
Some may prize a gem’s interplay of light and color, while others may first be drawn to a gem’s intricate cut. With an almost endless combination of color, shape and fire (play of light), gemstones are capable of a range of aesthetic styles.
Durability
Hardness and toughness in a gem is a desirable quality, suggesting enduring value. Some gems require care to prolong their longevity. Certain gems resist chipping or scratching, but fade after long exposure to direct light; dry environments may cause some to crack, while others are susceptible to damage from acids.
Rarity
The gem may be rare for a number of reasons. The gem material itself may be rare, such as emerald, or a more common material may exhibit and unusual color or clarity. Some particularly soft or fragile stones are rare in cut form, since they require the work of highly skilled lapidaries.
Other considerations such as symbolic power, connection to astrology and mysticism, geological associations or as fashion items.
Synthetic Gems
Synthetic gems are identical to natural minerals physically, chemically and optically, but made in a laboratory.
Natural gemstones are generally more valuable than synthetic gemstones.
Rarity Natural gemstones are rarer than synthetic gemstones because they are formed in the natural world without human intervention. For example, a natural pearl can be thousands of times more expensive than a synthetic pearl.
Formation process Natural gemstones can hold more value because of their formation process.
Durability Synthetic gemstones can be stronger and more resistant to wear and tear than natural gemstones.
Investment Natural gemstones can increase in value over time, while synthetic gemstones may not provide as good a return on investment.
Synthetic gemstones can be more affordable than natural gemstones, and some synthetic stones can be valuable. For example, synthetic diamonds can sell for about two-thirds the price of natural diamonds of the same quality.
