In 'jakking culture, the term "gem" is used in regard to particularly high quality soyjaks, and is the complete opposite of "coal". Gem-worthy 'jaks are to be commended for their value and merit.
A gem (also called a gemstone, gemmie, 'emmie, fine gem, jewel, precious stone, or (((semi-precious stone))) is a piece of mineral which is made in a cut and polished form, it is used to make jewelry and other adornments, it also has other uses since its hardness has given it many uses. However, certain rocks (such as lapis lazuli, jade, obsidian, and opal) and occasionally organic materials that are not minerals are also used for jewelry due to their beauty and are therefore often considered to be gems as well. Most gems have low malleability and high brittleness, but some soft minerals are used in jewelry because of their luster or other physical properties that have aesthetic value. Its artificial rarity is another aspect that lends much value to a gems and gives the ownership of gems status. Of course, the supply of gems in the world is limited.
