A gemstone or gem (also called a fine gem, jewel, or a precious or semi-precious stone) is a piece of mineral crystal, which, in cut and polished form, is used to make jewelry or other adornments. However, certain rocks (such as lapis lazuli) or organic materials that are not minerals (such as amber or jet), are also used for jewelry, and are therefore often considered to be gemstones as well. Most gemstones are hard, but some soft minerals are used in jewelry because of their luster or other physical properties that have aesthetic value. Rarity is another characteristic that lends value to a gemstone. Apart from jewelry, from earliest antiquity engraved gems and hardstone carvings, such as cups, were major luxury art forms. A gem maker is called a lapidary or gemcutter; a diamond worker is a diamantaire.
The carvings of Carl Fabergé are significant works in this tradition.

Gemstones crackin'
'Cuz we?re just too strong
Drum-sized yearning'
'Cuz the pressures gone
Supervised love
Crucified stuvs
Simmering red
In the sex farm clubs
There?s an exit
To this desert
Dingling freely
From the shingles in the snow
She?s a show off
Xanex Zoloft
Blank faced footprints
Of the zebras in the glen
Cavemen humping
In the sterling space pod
Drumstick pumpkin
In the Starbucks courtyard
Gigolos dance
Stepping on toes
Benedryl nights
In the O K holes
There?s an exit
To this desert
Dingling freely
From the shingles in the snow
She?s a show off
Xanex Zoloft
Blank faced footprints
Of the zebras in the glen
Lets break into
The labrynth of lies
Let?s dive off the
End of his eyes
Hollywood hills
Peppermint bills
I can still taste the grime
That you stuffed in my gills
Oh Johnny, can?t you set
A place for Holly?
She?s a wild one
She?ll be staying for a spell
Till they find her
And they drag her
Down to Barcelona
Down to Barcelona
I?m a very funny boy
But I know what I just
Said, ?cha cha cha?
Dunkin' donuts
Give me dunkin' donuts
She?s a very funny girl
