Is it true that heart shiny crystals used in jewelry are called ores?

I don't understand the phrase "heart shiny crystals", but the "crystals" used in jewelry are usually called "gems". An ore is a mineral which can be refined to produce metal. Many gems are, technically, ores (for example, rubies are mainly aluminium oxide and could therefore be considered an ore of aluminium), but most gems are FAR more valuable than the metal that could be extracted by refining them, so the term "ore" is generally not used when referring to them.
