semi-precious stone
Affordable jewelry crystal
A semi-precious stone is a gemstone valued for its beauty but considered less rare or costly than precious stones like diamonds, rubies, sapphires, and emeralds.
The category includes amethyst, turquoise, garnet, opal, and many others used in jewelry and decorative objects.
The distinction is traditional rather than scientific—some semi-precious stones can be rarer or more valuable than precious ones.
