green gemstone

Jade or emerald

A green gemstone is any precious or semiprecious stone that displays green coloration.

Emeralds are the most famous, but jade, peridot, tourmaline, and tsavorite garnet also qualify.

The phrase functions as a general category rather than naming a specific mineral: She wanted a green gemstone for the ring but hadn't decided which kind.
