Where can Gemstones be found?

Quartz and garnets belongs to the more common type of gemstones and they can be found worldwide.

However as emeralds and diamonds requires more unusual geological conditions for their formation therefore they are rarer and more expensive in price. Though gemstone can be found worldwide however only a small portion of them are of gem quality.

The main gem localities of the world are therefore those where gemstone quality material occurs in sufficient quantity to make production economic.
