Gemstones include any valuable crystalline minerals from amber to diamonds. Gemstones are so valuable that collectors, nobility, and the otherwise rich sometimes use them as currency in lieu of rupees. Monsters—especially silver and golden monsters—evaporate into valuable gemstones when they are slain, so adventurers and mercenaries often supply and use them as well.
Aside from being used as currency, gemstones have inherent magical power. Like spoils, they supply their full value when used as materials in crafting. Some spells even use gemstones as a material component, often specifically diamonds. The adjacent table lists the most renowned types of gems in Hyrule, but there could certainly be more beyond these.
Minerals with overt magical effects, like luminous stones, are considered magic items instead of gemstones. Items that are formed by a creature, from raw pearls to masterwork jewelry, are instead considered spoils. Minerals of value without special properties are usually considered trade goods instead of gemstones.
Spoils
Spoils can be sold, used as the material component of some spells, or used as materials in crafting. If sold, spoils fetch half their value in rupees. If used as the component for a spell or for crafting, the spoils use their full value as a material cost. Your DM may allow improvised uses such as using an lizalfos tail as an improvised weapon, or using chu jelly as a lubricant.
When using spoils as a material, your DM may or may not require the item to be somehow related to the intended effect. Chu jelly could be used for a potion for example, but it might be implausible to describe how it is useful for crafting an arrow.
