Tag implication: crystal -> gem

Posted under General

Alright. I was just looking through patchouli_knowledge posts, and I noticed that several posts that had her signature Philosopher's Stones tagged either as one or the other, so I was kind of confused.

Should we make a wiki for crystal?

And if so, should it be something like this:
A solid material that is in a naturally crystalline pattern.

Crystal should be used for more natural formations and gem should be used for a cut stone, typically worn as decoration.

This sounds like a good idea,crystal being used for posts like
post #269431
And gem being used for ones like
post #888631
This corresponds to the scientific definition of crystal as well

It seems these tags could use better wikis.

Agreed.I don't mind re-writing the wiki entries once an agreed definition for both is reached
