A gem is considered any attractive mineral or rock which when cut and polished, may be used for ornamentation. A gem can be either a mineral or a rock, but most gems are minerals. A rock is an aggregate of many minerals, with no specific structure, while a mineral has a much more ordered atomic structure, with specific physical and chemical properties. A gem is not necessarily a crystal; lapis lazuli is not a mineral or a crystal, yet can still be considered a gem due to its desirable color and traits when polished.
