Humanity has learned to use them as early warning systems -- as long as the gems are inert, things are... mostly safe; when they start shining, it's time to grab your weapons.

* In ''WesternAnimation/AladdinAndHisWonderfulLamp'', Aladdin (played by Popeye) asks the genie of the lamp to deliver a chest of gold and jewels to the princess (played by Olive Oyl). The contents include several head-sized gemstones that bathe the room in colored light, including a diamond that is so brilliant the princess needs sunglasses to look at it -- and her window turns it into a spotlight to illuminate Aladdin posing outside on his horse.
* In "WesternAnimation/BlueCatBlues", Tom's would-be girlfriend has her rich boyfriend buy for her a '''''huge''''' diamond (about a metre across) -- which can only be safely looked at through welding goggles.

** In ''Literature/TheSilmarillion'', the three Silmaril gems were made from the light of the two towering trees that used to light the world before the time of the moon and sun, causing the gems to glow perpetually. The light is so pure that the gems burn any evil being that touches them. One of the gems was eventually made into a star (implied to be the planet Venus; see [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aurvandil here]]). The word "silmaril" means "silver radiance" in Quenya.
** In ''Literature/TheHobbit'' the Arkenstone of Thráin (a.k.a. the Heart of the Mountain) is described as shining with its own inner light. Some {{Fanon}} holds that it is one of the previously mentioned Silmarils, others have proposed that it was an attempt to recreate a Silmaril by Celebrimbor (grandson of the original creator, Fëanor).
** Galadriel's vial contains water touched by the light of Eärendil, the star made from a Silmaril. It functions identically to a Silmaril, producing holy light which burns evil creatures, although only when Eärendil's name is invoked. It could be called a fourth Silmaril, although the text doesn't actually refer to it that way.
* The eponymous [[{{Mana}} stormlight]] in ''Literature/TheStormlightArchive'' is energy that suffuses any gem exposed to one of the powerful storms that frequently ravage the setting. The glowing gems are thus commonly used as a light source, and the light can also be drawn in by magic-users or power {{magitek}}. The gems are also used for money, and gems with Stormlight stored in them are preferred to "dun" gems, as it's harder to calculate the value of a dun gem.

* Scientists have figured out how to stick photons into diamonds. They can wedge the tiny photons inside the lattice formed by the larger atoms. This makes it easy to store photons in experiments, among other things. Of course, when the photons are taken out of the diamonds: technically the diamonds do in fact glow. Though usually the number of photons is too low to be observed by the human eye (and/or, they aren't going in the right direction). But yeah, it is technically possible to make diamonds (and probably other gems as well) actually emit light.
