WAY too much to answer here. As an overview, first there is significant economic significance, both as uncut crystals as a natural resource and as the objects of the process of cutting and polishing and even carving. Not just for jewelry, but other precious items such as boxes and sword hilts and even chess sets.
There are also industrial uses of certain gems, including diamonds for drill bits and cutting tools, and rubies for friction-resistant pivots in watches.
Then there are symbolic values, especially with regard to birth stones, and stones which have traditional meanings, such as diamonds for engagement rings.
There are also many psychic significances to many stones, both uncut crystals and cut gems. People also use them for healing, as when a crystal layout is placed on a person's chakras and energized.
You can, for example, lie down and place a quartz crystal (the clearer, the better) on your forehead. It will feel cool. By the time it no longer feels cool, you will have "charged" it with the heat of your body from the position of your third eye. It will then have power for any of several magical workings. Other stone work this way, too, but do different sorts of magical works.
You could spend an entire lifetime learning all about gem stones.

Gem stones are like your representing stone, kinda like your horoscope. They serve no point, and have little meaning, other then it has been chosen to represent a month.
Its like a countries national flower, or tarten.
