Top 10 Most Beautiful Gemstones

Most beautiful gemstones / precious stones / jewels.
The Top Ten
1 Diamond

Diamonds have more marketing. Diamonds have to be enhanced or heated to bring out sparkle and a rainbow of colors. Sphalerite, demantoid garnet and zircon have it all NATURALLY. Put a yellow diamond next to Sphalerite, and the latter wins. Demantoid outclasses green diamonds. I'm afraid you are a victim of marketing where diamonds are concerned.

I like diamond, but they aren't as rare as people think. The diamond sellers keep a lot of diamonds in a warehouse.

Come on girls, emerald over diamond? Who's a girls best friend again?

2 Sapphire

Sapphires are beautiful. I love them because of their blue tint, speaking of blue have you ever seen a blue cat before? I have not, I mean I have seen blue (sad) cats before and they are so cute. there is this beautiful cat named bluestar and she is almost blue but she has the most beautiful blue eyes and I first thought that she was really blue. I also thought that my birthstone was blue but it is orange. blue is my favorite color. anyway, back to the bluestar theory bluestar is a very smart and nice cat and she is regal and strong, but this evil cat tigerclaw tried to kill her which was sad but this good cat named fireheart saved her from being killed but she went crazy forever.

3 Emerald

This is my birthstone and the best. I heard if your gemstone is emerald it meanes your kind, and loving but, a bit sensitive.

Girls like Diamonds maybe, but boys prefer emeralds, rubies and sapphires. They are colorful.

Diamonds are for girls,Emerald is for guys! The green is so beautiful colour and that's why emerald is so awesome! Diamond is also great

4 Opal

The most beautiful gemstone I have ever seen, they come in all colours, sometimes I can't believe they come from our world and it's no wonder they were seen as having magical properties in early times.

Opal is my birthstone and I just love it! Opals seem to just capture rainbow inside of them, and they are so beautiful! I personally think diamonds are overrated and opals are perfectly unique!

Opal in my birthstone and is like a rainbow on your finger. No two opals have the same pattern and come in a variety of colors like blue opal, fire opal, purple opal...

5 Ruby

Diamonds a girl's best friend? Honey I don't want no clear ball, no I want something that stands out, not to fancy but still pretty, like me! I have 2 pairs of ruby earings and I love them!

Honestly not because it's my birthstone but because this gem looks beautiful along with gold!

They're really beautiful. Deep red. The colour of blood.

6 Aquamarine

The clear pale blue types from the mountains of Colorado are absolutely beautiful.

It reminds me of calming, beautiful waters. Not to mention it is so pretty!

This gemstone is really pretty. It's one of my favorites.

7 Alexandrite

This is just a beautiful gemstone, why?
The color. Blue or purple... semi-transparent... and you know, shiny, some gems are like rocks and don't even shine. I might go on about the shape too! It's simply even, unlike some gems, naturally even!
Next! It can color-change in different light! I'd like a rainbow quartz gem though it isn't on the list really. I'd prefer a color-change fluorite too, but you see, same as before.
Blue and purple are calming, deep and sweet colors. yoo-hoo

How is this gem not on the top? Alexandrite is beautiful, It's also PURPLE, but not too purple, more like a calming indigo, plus IRIDESCENT! This gem is certainly better than the generic, clear, colourless, but somehow famous diamonds.

8 Amethyst

Diamond's a girl's best friend. Nah, don't think so hun, amethyst's are everyone's friend, and yes diamond's have value, but that's just a plain clear object. Amethyst's have beauty, color, life, happiness! Anyway, ya get the point.

Are you joking? Don't watch Sofia the first for gosh diddly darn's sakes watch Steven universe. I hope you appreciate my resisting the temptation to swear then. It wasn't easy

I love Amethyst. It's a prettiest Gem in my opinion and also Purple is my most favourite colour. It's also my birthstone.So, I wear it as a necklace which looks like in Sofia The First.

9 Garnet

Green Garnets can really outclass green diamonds. If you want a fiery gem. Demantoid garnet in a cluster, will give you lots and lots of fire. In sunlight and indoor lighting you will get a rainbow of colors. That's why it is amongst the 3 gems which has more fire then diamonds. Its rarer then diamonds and historically it was solely for the Russian csars. Now diamonds,sorry but you are not the best...it proves the power of marketing and how suscebtible we are to it.

Hey! Garnet is pretty and tough, in the real world and in Steven Universe. They use it for industrial stuff! How can you not love Garnet?!?! Comes in different shades, most expensive is Blue Garnet, which is over 1 million for a carat? I don't know, but yea.

10 Topaz

I was born in November, and this is a VERY beautiful gemstone in my opinion.

I was born in November, and that's the gemstone of the month! Plus, most of the Topazes are VERY pretty XP

I like topaz because it is such a pretty gemstone to have in your gem collection

The Contenders
11 Trapiche Emerald

Before now I've never heard about this emerald and it's now one of my favorites!

12 Apatite
13 Peridot

This gemstone just seems to speak to me. I love it! Also, to the person who said they hate that it is their birthstone, I say you're lucky. This stone is gorgeous!

Sure it's no diamond, sapphire, or ruby, it's a pretty cool gem. Also my birthstone.

Peridot? I never even knew it existed.

14 Padparadscha

It looks lovely! I never knew that this was an actual gemstone!

The different colors within the depths are lovely.

15 Paraiba Tourmaline

This gem is so beautiful. It is 1,000 times rarer than diamonds and emeralds. It is neon blueish green and glows in the dark. It looks even brighter in dim lights than down lighting (the kind of lighting they use in Jewelry stores).
Check it out!

Awesome gem that has the most amazing color of the Caribbean sea. You have to see it to believe it. It's that mesmerizing.

Why is this gem not more well known? It's the most gorgeous color ever!

16 Bixbite

Bixbite is actually red beryl with incredible red color similar to ruby (well, all beryls are great - emerald, aquamarine, morganite, pale green beryl, etc)

17 Turquoise

Along with lapis lazuli, turquoise is my favourite gem, and my birth stone for December. I love it's rich, blue-green shade buy sadly is not very popular even though it isn't nearly as expensive as some other gems.

I love turquoise. Turquoise and amber are the best gemstones and they really need to be higher on this list. Those two colors make me feel happy.

18 Lapis Lazuli

She is my FAVORITE character in Steven Universe, and therefore she is my favorite gem.

I feel so bad for lapis because it stinks when being cut and polished.

I absolutely love its deep blue color.

19 Benitoite
20 Moonstone

Moonstone is beautiful. Its like a diamond mixed with an opal and showered in stars it is more subtle than a opal, but has an array of lovely colors that shine like moonlight.

YAY! My birthstone! It's so pretty, and the colours reflect all along the stone. It is a bluish colour with different shadings.

I've always been intrigued by this one for some reason. Really beautiful.

21 Tanzanite
22 Jeremejevite
23 Crystal

Crystals? Like the ones with the starbits inside in Super Mario Galaxy? Those things are absolutely beautiful! They're so pretty, I hate having to break the things in SMG, but I love them so much! Apparently, when meteors strike (in SMG) they trap things inside these crystals. Take the beginning for example, when Bowser's Airships shoot meteors at the Toads at the Star Festival, note how the meteors trap them inside crystals. My question is if meteors would trap things inside seemingly electrified crystals in real life. I don't know about the crystals being electrified, but they say that the prehistoric meteor that killed the dinosaurs froze the Earth... Noneoftheless, Crystals are absolutely beautiful!

24 Rose Quartz

WHAT!? This is a gem? I thought it was just a character from Steven Universe with a strange ungem name.

I love the solid pastel pink color of this gem and I wish it was further up the list

25 Morganite

It is the most beautiful stone in the world!
