| A '''gemstone''' (also called a '''gem''', '''fine gem''', '''jewel''', '''precious stone''', or '''(((semi-precious stone)))''') is a piece of mineral crystal which, in cut and polished form, is used to make jewelry or other adornments. However, certain rocks (such as lapis lazuli and opal) and occasionally organic materials that are not minerals (such as amber, jet, and pearl) are also used for jewelry and are therefore often considered to be gemstones as well. Most gemstones are hard, but some soft minerals are used in jewelry because of their luster or other physical properties that have aesthetic value. Rarity is another characteristic that lends value to a gemstone.

| "In jakking culture, "gem" is used in regard to particularly high quality 'jaks. Gem-worthy 'jaks are to be commended for their value and merit. Contrast to "coal".

| The quality of a 'jak, and specification of being a gem or coal can be a point of division under the judgement of the 'jakking community. More experimental and avant-garde 'jaks tend to be more divisive in regard to this qualification scale.
