Precious gems can be distinguished from one another by their color, clarity (though emeralds will always contain inclusions), cut and unique optical phenomena such as color zoning or asteria within their stone. Furthermore, precious gemstones may also be mined and cut into various shapes before being faceted for maximum light reflection and sparkling appearance.

Unfortunately, mining precious stones can have serious environmental and social repercussions, including deforestation, soil and water pollution, threats to biodiversity and worsened socio-economic conditions in areas where these stones are extracted. Furthermore, middlemen or corporations can take an unfair share of profits that leads to unequal distribution of wealth within the gem industry.
