Gems are characterized in terms of refractive index, dispersion, specific gravity, hardness, cleavage, fracture, and luster. They may exhibit pleochroism or double refraction. Who describe gems and their characteristics using technical terminology specific to the field of gemology.Next, many gems are crystals which are classified by their crystal system such as cubic or trigonal or monoclinic.
