Gemstones
A gemstone is a naturally occurring mineral formed in the earth’s crust over billions of years. After the cooling of magma particles, they turn into mineral rocks and crystals in the form of clusters and geodes, which are cut and polished to transform into sparkling diamonds, emeralds, rubies and other gemstones.
