Semi-precious stones are genuine stones, like amethyst and
garnet, used in fine and
fashion jewelry. Although they are as beautiful and have lots of commercial
value, semi-precious stones arent typically as rare or expensive as a precious
stone, like diamonds, sapphires, rubies and emeralds.
In more recent times, however, these stones have become more available and less
expensive with the help of modern technology. Using various methods, genuine
semi-precious stones are processed to enhance colors, maintain cut and size
constancy. Although these stones are processed, they are still genuine
semi-precious stones.
