Precious stones

Precious stones are rare, naturally occurring minerals that have exceptional beauty, rarity, and durability, making them highly valued. Examples include diamonds, rubies, sapphires, and emeralds. They form deep within the Earth's crust over millions of years through specific geological processes. Their appealing colors, clarity, and hardness contribute to their desirability in jewelry. Each stone has unique characteristics, often evaluated by the "Four Cs": color, cut, clarity, and carat weight. These gemstones are carefully extracted, processed, and polished to showcase their natural beauty, and they have long been cherished as symbols of luxury, beauty, and status.
