rare stone
Uncommon geological specimen
A rare stone is a gemstone or mineral that occurs infrequently in nature, making it valuable to collectors and jewelers.
Rarity may stem from limited geographic deposits, difficult extraction, or unusual chemical composition.
The term appears in gaming and fantasy contexts for precious items with special properties: I found a rare stone that increases magic resistance.
What counts as rare shifts with new discoveries and market demand.
