		<description>David:   Sorry to burst your bubble...but most of the 18 precious stones u mentioned are Semi-precious...and some of them are precious as for as rarity (The &quot;B&quot; chart crystals shown) but not commonly used in High ticket Items due to their softness; &amp; as for as Lab grown crystals I didn&#039;t C any in the pictures; due to the fact that everyone of those pictures shown were of NATURAL crystals in their Natural Matrix....Except for the Last picture of which could B Nat. or &quot;synthetic crystals&quot; (Lab Grown) which have obviously been polished due to their mirror finish and High Luster &amp; Yes I&#039;ll agree with your first 4 mentioned precious stones(considered to B the bread/butter stones) but the others mentioned some of which are Precious/Semi-Precious are not where the Jewelry Industry Makes it most money from though they make a substantial amount due to different markets and price ranges...

		<description>I am fairly sure (i could be wrong!) that some of those are lab-grown crystals.  For instance, No 14 looks rather like copper sulphate to me!  It has the right shape to it.  These are beautiful, but hardly the &#039;most precious natural&#039; stones out there.  Off the top of my head and in no particular order, 18 true precious stones would be: Diamond, Ruby, Emerald (beryl), Sapphire, Tourmaline, Moldavite, Precious Opal, Carnelian, Peridot, Jade, Lapis Lazuli, Rhodochrosite, Chrysoberyl, Zircon, Chrysocolla, Serpentine, Porphyry and many different kinds of agate/jasper.</description>
