Diamonds, emeralds, rubies, and sapphires are known as the "Big Four" gemstones.

Open cast mining is one of the methods of gemstones mining, where the overlying minerals or rocks are removed to reach the gemstones-bearing rocks. The gemstones-bearing rocks are then washed by jets of water under high pressure to obtain the gems. These are then sent to treatment plants for further processing.

For instance, synthetic diamonds, rubies and blue sapphires are just a few common synthetic gems that exist. These synthetic stones you could call the 'fakes'. But there is actually nothing wrong with them as long as you're aware of it and you paid a lower price.

A genuine gemstone is real, but it is treated in some way to enhance its cut or appearance.

gemstone, any of various minerals highly prized for beauty, durability, and rarity. A few noncrystalline materials of organic origin (e.g., pearl, red coral, and amber) also are classified as gemstones. Gemstones have attracted humankind since ancient times, and have long been used for jewelry.

The Gem Mine, as its name suggests, produces Gems, albeit very slowly. These mined Gems are then stored until the player collects them or the storage fills. Like other resource-producing buildings in both villages, upgrading the Gem Mine will disable production for the duration of the upgrade.

Check for Scratch: While transparent and flawless gemstones are hard to find, look for any cracks, scratches, and black spots inside the gemstone jewelry before you zero in on your purchase. You can also consult a qualified gemologist to find out if the gem is natural or not.

The easiest way to do the same is to look out for flaws. Due to the immense pressure under which they are created, most gemstones tend to feature different inclusions like feathers, crystals and needles, for example. To find them, hold your stone under a bright light and view it through a 10x jeweler's loupe.

Cubic zirconia can be produced in almost any color. Pink and yellow CZs can be used as convincing pink or yellow diamond imitations. Other color CZs make good imitations of darker red, purple, blue, green or black gemstones.
