Assembled gem
open-in-new
<p>An assembled gem (also called a composite gem) is a <a href="/facts/Gemstone/kHffmvE3">gemstone</a> made up of other smaller gems. An assembled gem can often be a <a href="/facts/Gemstone/kHffmvE3">fake gem</a> with a desirable piece of gemstone attached to pieces of inexpensive imitation gemstones. For example, a combination of a thin layer of green glass and a colorless piece of <a href="/facts/Quartz/4n86tE2G">quartz</a> would be a composite gem. </p>
