Prestige
A qualitative reputation rating based on historical significance, consistent quality and market recognition, from Notable to Legendary. It reflects trade perception, not production volume.
A gemmological and commercial origin catalogue. Coordinates are regional approximations; the interest is scientific and historical, not geographic. Each locality connects gem species to the places that shaped their identity, value and treatment history.

A qualitative reputation rating based on historical significance, consistent quality and market recognition, from Notable to Legendary. It reflects trade perception, not production volume.
An origin whose name can increase the commercial value of a stone. A ruby from Mogok or a sapphire from Kashmir commands a premium over the same species from an unnamed source, all else equal.
Estimated percentage of global supply for a given gem species. A high volume share does not imply high value share. Some small deposits produce most of the world's finest material.
