Korean Gems

　　Korean gems have earned a global reputation and are a unique specialty of Korea. Gems refer to stones or minerals that, after cutting and polishing, meet the standards required for jewelry. They are among the most beautiful and valuable types of rocks. With their vibrant colors, translucent textures, brilliant luster, hardness, durability, and scarcity, they are natural mineral crystals used for crafting items such as jewelry.

　　Korean amethysts, smoky quartzes, and others have long been renowned worldwide for their color and transparency, and their processing techniques are also world-class. Products made from amethysts, smoky quartzes, and other stones—crafted from abundant raw materials and advanced skills, and featuring a variety of designs—have become one of the representative goods. The main types of jade found in Korea include white jade, yellow jade, red jade, and black jade. Due to Korea’s abundant reserves, these can be produced in large quantities, resulting in relatively low prices.
