What is the difference between precious stone and semi-precious stone?

If you've ever asked yourself this, we have an explanation here, even if we only talk about gemstones above for the sake of clarity. Traditionally, precious and semi-precious stones are terms used to describe the rarity, quality and often value of minerals that are processed into jewelry stones.

Gemstone: A gemstone is a rare, aesthetically pleasing mineral that is characterized by particular hardness and brilliance. This category only includes a small number of high-quality stones such as diamonds, rubies, sapphires and emeralds.

Semi-precious stone: Semi-precious stones are minerals that are also used in jewelry and have beautiful optical properties, but are more common and generally less valuable than gemstones. Examples of semi-precious stones include amethyst, aquamarine, citrine and turquoise. Although they are often less expensive, they can still be highly sought after and impress with their beauty.

Today, the distinction between precious and semi-precious stones is often viewed as outdated because it does not reflect the true diversity and value of many stones. Many so-called semi-precious stones are just as impressive in their color and beauty as the traditional gemstones.
