semi-precious stones
Amethyst and turquoise
Semi-precious stones are gemstones valued for their beauty but considered less rare or valuable than precious stones like diamonds, rubies, sapphires, and emeralds.
The category includes a wide variety of minerals such as amethyst, turquoise, garnet, and jade.
The distinction between precious and semi-precious is traditional rather than scientific, and some semi-precious stones can actually command higher prices than lower-quality precious ones.
