Precious vs
Semi-Precious
Gemstones have been classified into two broad categories since the 19th century: Precious and Semi-Precious. While modern gemology evaluates gems by quality, rarity and beauty, this traditional classification is still widely used in the Indian astrological and jewellery trade.
"True luxury is found in the rarity of the earth's most hidden treasures."
