A gemstone is the name given to a piece of mineral that after it has been cut and polished has been made into a piece of jewellery or another accessory. Although gemstones are commonly made from minerals, material such as jet or amber or rocks like lapis lazuli can also be utilised in the creation of gemstones. The majority of gemstones will be hard to the touch but depending on the piece of jewellery that is being created, some soft minerals are also utilised.
Gemstones are also called as Birthstone or a Rashi Ratna. A suitable gemstone is believed to bring good luck and fulfill the dreams of its wearer. If someone is going through miserable times, then gemstones can help to combat them and are considered to be one of the simplest and effective astrological remedies. However, the suitability of a particular gemstone varies from person to person. While one gemstone can be extremely beneficial for one person, it can have some drastic adverse effects on another.
