... The colour of a mineral can also be a clue to its identity. As in the case of gold and pyrite, however, color alone cannot identify a mineral In addition, not all minerals are the same colour all the time. For example, the mineral corundum (made of aluminum and oxygen) is white when pure. However, w ...

Gemstone
A gemstone or gem (also called a fine gem, jewel, or a precious 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) or organic materials that are not minerals (such as amber or jet), 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. Apart from jewelry, from earliest antiquity engraved gems and hardstone carvings, such as cups, were major luxury art forms. A gem maker is called a lapidary or gemcutter; a diamond worker is a diamantaire.The carvings of Carl Fabergé are significant works in this tradition.
