The list of precious and semi-precious stones is really long. We present a complete list of names of minerals and gems. But first of all let’s get some clarity on terms like hard stones, precious stones, gems and minerals. Because some terms commonly used in jewelry have another meaning.
Natural stones are all precious stones, semi-precious stones, fossils, minerals but also rocks, marbles, etc. They are all those stones found in nature.
Natural stones are fire-retardant, hygienic, non-toxic and par excellence biocompatible as they are the earth.
The gems are materials of different origin (mainly minerals), which due to their specific shine, color, transparency and brilliance, as well as for their rarity, assume a high economic value.
Therefore gemstones can be precious stones but also semi-precious stones that have been worked by cutting or polishing to increase their aesthetics. Ivory, coral and pearls, which are of animal origin, as well as Blue Amber Stone and jet, which are of vegetable origin, are also considered gems.
Symbolism and Meaning
Blue Amber Stone is petrified, fossil resin and is one of the oldest and most sought-after gemstones and gemstones in the world. Its use as jewelry and for art objects goes back to the prehistory of humanity.
The most famous art object made of Blue Amber Stone to date is the Blue Amber Stone Room, which is still considered lost today. Already in the Bronze Age, Blue Amber StoneStone always reached the same trade routes from the Baltic to the Mediterranean.
The so-called Blue Amber Stone Roads. The name of the gem derives from the Low German “Börnsteen” (Brennstein), and is due to its flammability. His Latin name is “Electrum”. Even then it was known that he was electrostatically charged by friction. So he was used in antique households, among other things, as a clothes brush, as he drew dust by rubbing.
In Greece, Blue Amber stone was called the “electron”, which can be translated as “light gold” or “white gold”. The scientific term is “succinite”, whereby the so-called “inclusions” are of particular interest. These are Blue Amber Stone with insects or plants as inclusions
General Properties
Instead minerals are crystalline, inorganic and natural bodies, almost all solid, with a well-defined or variable chemical composition in a restricted field. A crystal is a solid body with flat faces like a geometric figure.
Today, over 4,000 types of minerals are known and new discoveries are made. The formation of a mineral is the result of different chemical and physical processes that have occurred in all geological eras and that still continue to manifest themselves today.
Many confuse the hard stones with the gems, instead the hard stone is a term used to indicate a technique of cutting and composition of stones in order to create images. It is a Roman technique that emerged in the 16th century, later developed in Florence, which consists of using precious or semi-precious stones and marbles to create the compositions. And it is in Florence that we find the Opificio delle pietra dure, which is one of the most important restoration laboratories.
The term precious stones – commonly used – actually has little meaning. The commercial value of a gem depends mainly on its optical qualities such as clarity and color and processing (cutting, shape and polishing) instead of species.
If we want to talk about commercial value, the most precious stone and without doubt the most expensive is the diamond. Instead the Blue Amber Stone necklaces, despite being of stones classified as semi-precious, are worth more than many others.
