The tools and raw materials that are used for gemstone carving are:

• Tooth Chisel: The tooth chisel is principally used in the geometric reduction of a larger piece of stone.

• Flat Chisel: It has a straight edge with a slight bevel. It is the finishing tool used before the final abrasive finishing, rasping, and sanding.  

• Point Chisel: It is used for the second stage of removal, is a flat straight chisel with slightly bevelled teeth. It removes the primary bulk material and comes in three sizes, small, medium and large.

• Speciality Chisels: These are used by intermediate and advanced carvers for added assistance in multiple projects. 

• Hammers: These come in three weights and are made of soft iron, so the percussion is easier on the stone, tool, and user.
