Organic gems

Organic gems are gemstones that form through natural biological processes instead of mineral crystallization. They are typically derived from organic materials like plant resins, shells, or fossilized remains. Examples include amber (fossilized tree resin), coral (marine invertebrate skeletons), and certain pearls (nucleated from mollusks). These gems are valued for their unique origins, warm colors, and organic textures, offering a distinct appeal compared to mineral-based gemstones. Their formation involves biological activity or preservation, making each piece unique and often carrying historical or cultural significance.
