== Trivia ==
* In the modern era gems also became prized for practical applications. The oscillation of quartz under an electric current is used to produce inexpensive timepieces of precision impossible in the ancient world, while diamond dust is used to produce long-lasting cutting tools. The first working laser was built around a rod of pure ruby.
