Gems are mainly minerals

In the ancient times women, ivory, horse, gold, silver etc. were also counted in gems. But in the present time, only precious stones are kept in the category of gems by separating metals and animals. Primarily, gemstones are minerals. Gemstones are formed by the combination of metals due to different types of chemical reactions taking place under the earth. Mines of different types of gems are found in many countries across the world. The gems are extracted from the mines, after which they are sold in the market.
