Stones that are rare, and look beautiful are considered Gems.
Yes, some gem stones are made to make jewelry. but not all.
A diamond is a mineral, but it be called a "gem stone" if you want to be fancy. Stones are usually round, and is a very broad subject. It varies from very expensive to just a regular old by-the-sidewalk stone. I would say that the best description of a diamond is a crystal.
Some gem stones with five letters include: - Beryl - Topaz - Agate - Lapis (semi-precious stone, not a gem)
Yes. Diamond is framed in earth pressure by melting with different color acid stones.
Rubies are a nonconducting gem stone. Almost all crystals, stones and gemstones are nonconductors, with a few rare exceptions, such as graphite.
no
Carat count is a measurement of gem-stone weight -- the total weight of all the stones would produce the total carat count -- regardless of the number of stones.
Probably not! I can't speak for specific caves but as a general rule caves in limestone are not gem-stone mineral sources. It's important too, to differentiate between gem-stones and gem-stone minerals, because the former are simply high-enough quality specimens of the minerals to yield cut ornaments. That's not to dismiss it entirely: caves formed in marble may hold gem-stone minerals (not the same as gem-stones) if the passages have cut into igneous dykes or been affected by later hydrothermal activity. There is also the point that you never remove any of a cave's natural contents except in 3 situations: 1) "digging", i.e. clearing silt or boulder obstacles to discover where the passage leads; 2) minimum-size samples for genuine laboratory analysis; or 3) for proper preservation and display when the cave is being destroyed by quarrying or civil-engineering. So even if the cave holds "gem" minerals... you don't touch 'em!
Some animals EAT minerals, but gem collectors will buy them from you, or of course your could KEEP IT FOR YOURSELF! Even BETTER.

Gem stones begin as ores and crystals. They are mined and then cut and polished to be put into jewelry.
No. Some gems fall under the classification of semi-precious stones.
