Gemstones from A to Z
Natural gemstones include a wide range of minerals and natural materials valued for their colors, textures, patterns and use in jewelry. Some materials traditionally grouped with gemstones, such as amber and obsidian, have different geological origins.
This A-to-Z guide presents gemstones and natural materials featured in Ovie Bijoux content and jewelry. Each entry links to information about its appearance, mineralogical or historical characteristics, and the symbolism traditionally associated with it.
Symbolic and lithotherapy associations are cultural or traditional beliefs and are not scientifically demonstrated effects.
