The gemstones have always been the most sought-after minerals among the collectors. This is not only due to their aesthetics (often relevant) and the appeal they can exhert, but also to their own value related to the rarity. In fact, these crystal are more often visible in a display of a jeweller than in the showcase of a minerals collector! Within this section I have wanted to list all types of tourmaline, topaz e beryl, which represent (at least in the collective thought) the most common gemstones (even though garnets, amethyst and many others could have, obviously, the same rights!). ...Not for wives!
