In ancient times, stones such as **lapis lazuli** and **turquoise** were considered talismans and were used in jewelry and amulets. The first to establish a distinction of value were the ancient Greeks, who identified **diamond**, **ruby**, **sapphire**, and **emerald** as "precious" gems due to their hardness and rarity. Beyond luxury, a crucial aspect is their spiritual and healing significance, which for millennia has led to beliefs in **mystical properties** (for example, amethyst against drunkenness or garnet for protection in battle).
Nell'antichità, pietre come il **lapislazzuli** e il **turchese** erano considerate talismani e venivano usate in gioielli e amuleti. I primi a stabilire una distinzione di valore furono gli antichi Greci, che identificarono il **diamante**, il **rubino**, lo **zaffiro** e lo **smeraldo** come le gemme "preziose" per la loro durezza e rarità. Oltre al lusso, un aspetto cruciale è il loro significato spirituale e curativo che per millenni ha portato a credere in **proprietà mistiche** (ad esempio, l'Ametista contro l'ubriachezza o il Granato per la protezione in battaglia).
