RayFWhat Are "Semiprecious Stones"?
The names "semiprecious stones" and "semi-precious stones" are used for all varieties of gemstones that are not categorized as "precious."

ExecutiveSocietyWill it hinder the growth as much as dishonestly hawking a man-made glass (blue sandstone) as a semi-precious stone? People come to Massdrop because they believe they can trust the products and vendors to be high quality and reasonably priced. This dishonest drop undermines that belief.
ExecutiveSocietyPerhaps you've confused me with someone who shares your concern about that? So long as what you call the "Men's Accessories category" on MD consists largely of worthless junk pitched to Shopping-Challenged X-ers, you can expect a less than warm reception from me. Try selling "value", it's better for repeat business.
