Natural stone is divided into precious, semi-precious and ornamental. Back in the last century, such a classification was developed by the famous mineralogist, academician A.E. Fersman, paying attention in his work to the characteristics of minerals, their rarity and value.
- A gemstone is a very rare mineral that is used primarily for making jewelry. The excellent appearance of a noble diamond, fiery ruby or spring emerald will not go unnoticed and will attract attention to any woman. Since ancient times, tales have been told about these precious stones, as well as sapphires, topazes and zircons. Their beauty is compared to the most beautiful women. And the value is estimated much higher than gold. Individual copies are sold for incredible amounts of money.
Depending on the characteristics and size of the gem, precious stones are classified into a certain order.
Diamonds are classified into the first order, topazes, for example, into the second, and precious stones such as zircon into the third.

Lower tier stones are sometimes more expensive than higher tier crystals. It happens that an emerald used by a jeweler weighing up to two carats can cost up to $500–1000. And an emerald that weighs more than three carats can, in some cases, be more expensive than a diamond and ruby of the same weight.
There are quite a large number of such stones in the bowels of the earth, which is why they are called semi-precious. For example, these are garnet, amethyst, peridot, agate, tourmaline and so on. They are, of course, not as expensive as precious stones. But here there are exceptions to the rules.
In particular, high quality tourmaline costs $25–150 per carat. But you may come across a stone with smooth transitions from one color to another; its price can reach one thousand dollars per carat. A blue-green stone will cost even more – up to $5,000. You can always find out from the craftsmen what natural stones the jewelry you like is made from. Often this information is indicated on jewelry tags.

- Ornamental stone. It is an opaque mineral, a rock, an organic compound. All this is suitable for making jewelry from natural stones. Such ornamental stones do not have a bright shine, but if they are cut efficiently, they can compete with stones that are classified as precious.
The category of jewelry made from natural stones includes products made from such ornamental materials as azurite, sodalite, jade, malachite, lapis lazuli, jasper, vesuvian, etc. What stones are the jewelry you like made from, you can always check with the boutique sellers or craftsmen .
Magical properties of gems
According to Russian law, five minerals are considered precious.
Diamond
The most expensive in terms of rarity in nature, a durable and bright diamond, after cutting, acquires a standard beauty with a transparent or slightly bluish tint. From time immemorial it has been called the most powerful amulet against the evil eye, bad thoughts and ill-wishers. The ancient Greeks believed that a diamond was a warrior’s stone, capable of protecting against death in battle.
The healing properties are also “twisted” around the positive energy of the mineral. Jewelry with it is placed under the pillow to get rid of insomnia; touching the skin charges it with youth and freshness. For Hindus, diamond products are associated with the higher chakras - with regular meditation they help to reveal physical and mental talents.
Ruby
The crimson-red variety of corundum is strongly associated with family amulets. It is considered one of the main natural defenders of marital happiness, giving mutual understanding with the other half, peace of mind and peace. People who work hard, risking their lives every day, wear items with rubies as a talisman against injuries.
The unusual color also affected allegories with the heart or circulatory system - the constant wearing of rubies is responsible for the work of these organs. For many centuries it was believed that red corundum protects epileptics from sudden attacks, and helps those who are overweight to normalize metabolism in order to get their figure in order.
Sapphire
Blue corundums, thanks to European tradition, received the status of a stone of power, which became an indispensable attribute in the inlay of rings, royal crowns and sceptres. They are also chosen by representatives of creative professions or mental work - the energy of the crystal inspires the creation of masterpieces of art, music, literature and scientific discoveries.
Sapphire treats memory problems, as well as other disorders related to the brain. Moreover, it is a rule among mystics that the darker and more saturated the blue hue of a natural crystal, the more powerful its aura. In the Middle East, young recently married girls are advised to wear it so that they can get pregnant faster.
Emerald
The magically attractive emerald in most countries is directly connected with the world of the gods; it is not for nothing that Islamic culture calls green a sacred color. It is interesting that in pre-Christian Rus', according to archaeological finds, they were most often worn by noble women, while among the Greeks, on the contrary, emerald jewelry was often given to young people.
The healing capabilities of stones are also interesting. You can come across claims that diabetics must wear emeralds to normalize blood sugar, and it also saves them from severe panic attacks. Earrings inlaid with green gems improve vision and protect against frequent migraines if a person is constantly overtired at work.
Alexandrite
A rare guest of Russian jewelry stores is imperial alexandrite, perhaps the most mysterious and little-studied mineral. It is ironic that he never managed to become a powerful talisman, but in many sources he is indicated as a talisman for business people, especially if you work in a bank or are involved in signing partnership deals.
According to other versions, alexandrite is a sleeping colossus that reveals its abilities over time, but each of them is unique and defies rational explanation. There are versions that with its help, the tongue of stuttering children and adults is “loosened”, and all those suffering from bad habits clear their minds and switch to a healthy lifestyle.
Colors of jewelry made from natural stones
Agree, the color of the stones is of decisive importance. One is perfect for a blonde, but in no case will make a brunette or brown-haired woman attractive.
A stone such as turquoise is almost universal in jewelry, which will suit many fashionistas. It looks very stylish in vintage items. Most often, jewelry with this stone is worn in the summer. It’s not for nothing that last year turquoise took first place in the fashionable catalog of natural stones.
Amethyst is no less popular. It personifies sincerity, has special strength, and stands out for its unusual beauty. Amethyst jewelry can be safely worn to a corporate event or a business lunch; all that remains is to choose an outfit that matches the color with elements of lilac or light lilac.
Jewelry made from green stones - onyx, emerald, aquamarine, jade - are also a huge success, each of them is unusual in its own way. They say that a green stone improves mood and vigor. Most of all, it suits brunettes, redheads, and brown-haired women. Jewelry with green stones will make every outfit especially harmonious and make your image memorable.
Stones for black magic
In their rituals, black magicians try to use the most powerful magic stones. Sherl is considered one of these powerful witchcraft minerals. Interestingly, the stone does not take the energy blow intended for the owner, but reflects negative energy and returns it to the sender.
Argelite is a witch's stone, a servant of the Dark Moon (last quarter). With its help, you can master the craft of witchcraft: learn to understand the language of nature, gain the gift of foresight, and become a healer.
Using the power of hematite, or bloodstone, sorcerers and witches summon elemental spirits, enhance sexual energy, communicate with the souls of the dead, and protect themselves from astral attacks. For the stone to work as a talisman, it must be activated by the full moon. To do this, hematite is left during the full moon all night under the open sky and then worn in a silver frame. They cleanse the mineral of accumulated negative energy by exposing it to cold running water once a month.
Bloodstone also helps to lift the veil of the future. A pebble placed under the pillow promotes the appearance of prophetic dreams. It also helps in mastering the skill of leaving the body, reliably protecting the owner from the entities of the lower astral plane.
Black obsidian is a stone for more advanced sorcerers. Helps to subjugate spirits to your will. Obsidian received its terrible power in a magmatic melt and carries within itself the destructive energy of Pluto. Black magicians use a ball or mirror made of volcanic glass to predict the future.
With the help of smoky quartz they send damage. By distorting reality with the energy of the stone, sorcerers direct the discontent and anger of those in power at their victims.
To enhance the effect of spells and magical rituals, heliotrope is used. The stone also gives the ability to influence the thoughts of others.
The Morion stone is a gateway to the afterlife for a sorcerer. It is customary to use it in spiritualistic séances to communicate with the soul of a deceased person. The mineral also makes it possible to control a crowd and zombie people. You need to work with it very carefully, since there are known cases of demons summoned by newly converted magicians.
Jet is considered safer, as it also allows one to influence the consciousness and will of others. Why is a photo of the person who needs to be influenced inserted into a frame made of this material. Jet is an absorber of negative vibrations. To use it in dark rituals, the stone is used for several years as a talisman so that it has time to accumulate a negative charge of energy.
Pyrite is called the gate of darkness and is used to make deals with evil spirits. The stone can provoke outbursts of aggression in a person, especially if it has scratches and splits.
Goethite is the faithful servant of Hecate, the goddess of the underworld and witchcraft. Its magical properties intensify on the so-called days of Hecate - two days before and after the new moon, when the Moon is not visible in the sky. The mineral is used by witches for astral travel and recruiting the souls of the dead into their service.
With the help of moonstone, sorcerers steal energy and magical abilities from each other. The magic of the mineral begins to act on the waxing moon and reaches its maximum strength during the full moon.
The most powerful magical stone is opal. Both dark and light magicians should be careful with it: the gem greatly enhances witchcraft abilities. It is not recommended to use opal for beginners in the science of magic. Because without a clear understanding of your desires and true motives, there is a great risk of harming yourself.
Jewelry made from natural stones according to zodiac sign
Such an ancient science as astrology has long been looking for an answer to the question of how natural stones affect people's lives. It is already clear that a person can attract success and happiness through minerals that correspond to the zodiac sign of this individual.
The basis of the magical effect of stones is harmony and interconnection between all living on our planet. A stone corresponding to your zodiac sign accepts its vibrations, makes the influence of the sign and the corresponding planet stronger, and attracts positive energy into your life.
All zodiac signs have stones associated only with them. When choosing “your” stone, you need to feel a strong connection with it. Only in this case will it bring you happiness and success.
Semi-precious stones - healing and magical properties
The catalog of semi-precious gems is much wider and richer, which means there is a great opportunity to choose a “native” mineral that fully meets your expectations.
Topaz
It is not only a symbol of eternal youth, but also a powerful friendly amulet that should be given to loved ones. In the Arab-Turkish world it is called the stone of sailors. Topaz treats diseases of the gastrointestinal tract, improves memory and perfectly heals open wounds, for which it is often used in folk medicine by the people of Southeast Asia.
Amethyst
An inexpensive purple pebble has a unique connection with higher powers and is used to reveal intuitive and extrasensory abilities. It pacifies a person’s natural temper, bringing peace with oneself. Practitioners of esotericism are confident that amethyst is able to suppress base desires, protecting against adultery.
Citrine
A talisman of rogues, gamblers or forever young rake - it is not without reason that the bright sunny color is associated with money and material well-being. In Ancient Rome, citrine was worn by orators and public people to attract the attention of the crowd. From an energetic point of view, the stone has a beneficial effect on the functioning of the genitourinary system; daily wearing protects against migraines.
Onyx
Undeservedly deprived of great popularity, onyx in medieval Europe was considered a witch's amulet, and it is still unclear whether it was for protection against witchcraft or vice versa. In alchemy, crushed powder from it was added to various potions to treat rheumatism, heal cuts or bruises, and strengthen the immune system in the elderly.
Pomegranate
The brutal red-burgundy mineral also became popular in the Middle Ages, when it was considered a symbol of unbridled love and passion. Aristocrats decorated wedding gifts for brides with them so that their future married life would be happy. The Japanese have reinterpreted the pomegranate as an accessory for people who strive for greater knowledge in science.
Quartz
Most of the magic balls through which witches looked into the future were made of quartz; crystals are endowed with approximately the same power today. Among admirers, there is a popular opinion about the excellent fight of quartz trinkets against respiratory diseases, and they are recommended to purify water by placing a pebble at the bottom of a large dish.
Rauchtopaz
Having nothing in common except a similar name with topaz, smoky rauchtopaz is an amulet of unquestioning humility with the divine world and a symbol of gigantic tranquility. In the 20th century, another function was attached to it - clearing the mind after drinking alcohol and other intoxicating substances that can destroy both body and soul.
Chrysolite
The lime-green gem combines two harmonious elements – fire and air, which is why it is called a stone of good luck, protecting from life’s troubles. In addition, the effect of peridot on vision has been scientifically proven - its shade is in the spectrum of relaxing tones, which calms the optic nerve, reducing spasms.
Agate
Having a controversial status, black agate is in fact not so gloomy and not at all a mourning mineral. Rather, on the contrary, it protects the owner from the evil eye and damage, dissolving in itself all the negativity aimed at a person. They are usually worn on the fingers along with rings, or as an inlay on a bracelet, to protect themselves from rheumatic joint pain.
cat's eye
Named after the world's most capricious animal, the cat's eye is much more accommodating than you might think. Constantly wearing it creates an invisible protective barrier around the body, against which any curse will break. It also gives the owner an incredible boost of self-confidence, which helps timid people in difficult life situations.
Interesting fact: Amber, a sun-kissed gem, is considered to be a special magical stone in Slavic culture. Its natural warmth, unique glow and unique properties can be listed for a long time. It gives men courage and determination, and protects women from the appearance of a rival vying for her husband.

I WANT A PRESENT
Sometimes this name was used to categorize minerals:
- colored or colorless;
- cutting or decorative;
- precious or ornamental.
Properties of gems
The following features are characteristic of precious stones:
- Rarity. Some varieties of gems are expensive due to their uniqueness, as they are difficult to find and obtain. The depletion of mineral deposits also affects the demand and cost of individual species.
- Hardness. The durability of gemstones directly depends on their strength, which is influenced by hardness, cleavage and other physical properties.
- Appearance - this takes into account not only the initial appearance of the mineral after mining, but also how the gem will look after processing. Jewelers evaluate clarity, color, pattern, light refraction, shine and polishability.
- Origin. Scientists have learned to create imitations of stones by growing crystals in laboratories or by coloring less valuable natural specimens to pass them off as another stone. Despite the fact that fakes sometimes look more beautiful and more durable than natural minerals, the latter are still valued higher.
- Compactness. Small gemstones have been used since ancient times to this day as a measure of value. Most expensive minerals are small in size. The discovery of large crystals is considered extremely rare.
What is the difference between precious and semi-precious
There are no objective parameters that distinguish precious stones from semi-precious ones. The main criterion in this case is the price: semi-precious ones are inexpensive, precious ones are not accessible to everyone.
In the classification of the All-Russian Research Institute of Jewelry Industry there is no concept of precious and semi-precious stones at all: they can be jewelry, semi-precious and jewelry-precious.
Precious stones mined in Russia are highly valued on the world market. Moreover, the Russian Federation has deposits of almost all precious minerals, with the possible exception of rubies.
