Each of the six gemstones represents a facet of our universe. "The Infinity Collection of Gemstones consists of the Six Infinity Stones from the Marvel Universe: Time, Space, Reality, Mind, Power, and Soul," Marvel's website reports. "Each of the Infinity Stones are remnants of singularities that predated the Universe."
The Time Stone is made of Colombian emerald, likely "mined at the turn of the century," and comes in at close to 23 carats. In the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU), the Time Stone's special power is time manipulation — including places beyond time.
The Space Stone is made of sapphire from Madagascar and is over 30 carats. In the MCU, the Space Stone allows its user to be transported to any location and move throughout different realities and planes — defying "the laws of physics or magical barriers," Marvel describes.
The Reality Stone, which is over 15 carats, is made of ruby from Mozambique. In the MCU, the Reality Stone has the power to make concepts, visions and other ideas come to life universally. It has the power to manifest pretty much anything into existence — a power us mortals could only dream of.

The oval-shaped Power Stone is made of natural amethyst and is over 35 carats. In the MCU, the Power Stone has the ability to manipulate all forms of energy and enhance its user's durability and strength, which could come in handy in the midst of a battle. But the stone's real power comes from the way it interacts with the other five stones.
The Soul Stone is made of Spessartite and, like the Power Stone, comes in at more than 35 carats. In the MCU, the Soul Stone is the predecessor of the five other stones and can manipulate a person's soul and control life and death.
At nearly 35 carats, the Mind Stone is made of yellow diamond. In the MCU, the Mind Stone can enhance its user's mind — including powers such as telepathy and telekinesis — and can combine with the Power Stone to grant access to all minds in existence simultaneously.
"There has never been anything as exciting and interesting in the Marvel Universe than the prized Infinity Stones and as a fourth-generation jeweler and fan, I am honored that Marvel entrusted us with the monumental task of curating the Infinity Gem Collection for our universe," said President of East Continental Gems, Adam Mirzoeff, Marvel reported.
