The main RuneScape Wiki has an article on: Gem
The Old School RuneScape Wiki also has an article on Gem.

Gems are precious or semi-precious stones typically found by Mining rocks, Thieving the Gems Stall, or dropped by monsters that can access the rare drop table.

Gems can be cut using a chisel upon reaching certain Crafting levels. There is a chance that semi-precious gems can be cut unsuccessfully, producing a useless crushed gemstone for 75% less experience. Although, it is believed that this chance decreases as the player's Crafting level increases.[1] Cutting gems, especially precious gems, can be a quick way of gaining Crafting experience, once the player obtains the uncut gems.

Precious gems are typically used with a gold bar to Craft jewellery, especially amulets, which can be enchanted with special abilities. Semi-precious gems, however, have limited use in RuneScape Classic. All three types are used in Legend's Quest, and that's it.

Oyster pearls

Oyster pearls are an unusual type of semi-precious gem, both in how they're obtained and what they're used for. Oysters come from Fishing with a big net and have an approximately 10% chance of containing pearls. Using a chisel on it produces oyster pearl bolt tips, which are used for making crossbow ammunition. Carving the tips also gives experience in Fletching rather than Crafting.
