Colored Stones

Colored stones, also known as gemstones, are naturally occurring minerals that are valued for their vibrant colors and rarity. Common examples include sapphires, rubies, emeralds, and topaz. These stones are cut and polished to enhance their beauty and are often used in jewelry. Their value depends on factors like color, clarity, carat weight, and cut. Unlike diamonds, which are valued mainly for their brilliance, colored stones are prized for their unique hues and qualities. They can be natural or treated to improve appearance, making them a popular choice for personal adornment and collected gems.
