A crystal or crystalline solid is a solid material whose constituent atoms, molecules or ions are arranged in an ordered pattern extending in all three spatial dimensions. In addition to their microscopic structure, large crystals are usually identifiable by their macroscopic geometrical shape, consisting of flat faces with specific, characteristic orientations. The scientific study of crystals and crystal formation is known as crystallography. The word crystal is derived from the Ancient Greek meaning both “ice” and “rock crystal”.

A gemstone, precious or semi-precious stone or jewel is a piece of mineral, 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.
