What are Gemstones?
Gemstones are generally minerals that have been formed over thousands or millions of years. Gemstones may be formed from pure mineral (diamond is essentially pure carbon), a simple chemical compound (quartz is silicon dioxide), or a more complex mixture of various compounds and elements (the garnet family includes a highly variable mix of iron, magnesium, aluminium and calcium silicates). The great majority of familiar gem materials are oxides or silicates (i.e they contain oxygen and perhaps silicon) and formed as crystals during the cooling of the earth’s crust over past millennia.
