What do you call someone who digs for gems?

Answer 1

Someone who digs for gems is typically referred to as a "gemologist" or a "prospector." A gemologist is a professional who studies, identifies, and evaluates precious stones, while a prospector is someone who searches for valuable minerals, including gems, in the earth. Both terms are commonly used to describe individuals who engage in the activity of searching for gems through excavation or mining.
