Gemstones
The use of gemstones throughout history has been of great importance due to their aesthetic, symbolic, and practical value. Gemstones often had deep symbolic meaning and were used in religious and spiritual ceremonies. Owning and wearing gemstones such as diamonds, rubies, or emeralds was a sign of wealth and high social status.
Some gemstones were used for medicinal purposes, as they were believed to have healing powers. Gemstones were often used in art and architecture, adding aesthetic value and symbolism. More recently, gemstones have also found applications in technology, for example, diamond is used in the industry for cutting and drilling due to its hardness, and quartz has found its use in watches due to its piezoelectric properties.
