In day to day English, gemstones are piece of attractive minerals which can be turn into attractive jewelries when it was cut and polished properly.
The pricing of the gemstones differ from each variation and the clarity and transparency of each gemstone. Raw gemstones are cheap although some can be as expensive as well. Cheaper raw gemstones are like purchasing wholesale tourmaline and purchasing wholesale Tanzanite. Of course purchasing the gemstone as a processed jewelry or in small quantity could as well mean paying higher price for it because a processed gem will be priced a lot higher because of the workmanship to polish and cut the gem to turn it to nice jewelry or other adornments.
There are many people wearing a processed jewelry from raw gemstones as symbol of birth month. Example is people are wearing jewelry made of Blue Topaz gemstone to represent that he or she was born in November. Usually jeweler will purchase gemstones in bulk before cutting or polishing the gemstone to nice jewelries before marketing it to others.
