Precious stone

Japanese: 貴石 - きせき
Precious stone
This refers to gemstones such as diamonds, rubies, sapphires, and emeralds that are highly valuable as treasures or jewelry, and is the translation of the word "precious stone." Stones that are less valuable than precious stones are called semi-precious stones, and include opals, moonstones, and pearls. The boundary between the two is unclear, but stones with a hardness of 7 or higher are usually considered precious stones.
