Özet:

 Since the creation of mankind, people have been interested in gemstones because of their properties, such as protection, decoration, use as accessories, and spiritual as well as physical healing. This interest was not limited to the use of the tangible and intangible benefits of gemstones, but also included the study of the properties and benefits of stones and the creation of works about stones. These works are called ore books and contain information about their gems, and formation, where they were found, colors, types, uses, value, and storage conditions. Most of these works are written in prose, very few copies have been found in verse. Some studies that have dealt with these works have also attracted the attention of this study and laid the foundation for the study of their creation. In this study, the words for ores and jewels are first discussed with the forms used in the historical periods of the Turkish language, and then examples of the words for precious stones e.g., ruby, diamond, emerald and semi-precious stones e.g., turquoise, amber, agate, jade, chrysolite, pearl, snake stone, and lapis lazuli are presented to the reader based on the Turkish Chagatai works. Examples from the period and synonymous uses of gemstones are included in the study by using the diachronic method. Examples of usage in mining dictionaries are also included in the study.

 İnsanoğlu yaratılışından bu yana; koruma, süsleme ve aksesuar biçiminde kullanılma, ruhen ve bedenen şifalandırma vb. özelliklere sahip olmaları nedeniyle kıymetli taşlara ilgi duymuştur. İnsanoğlunun bu ilgisi değerli taşlardan maddi manevi fayda sağlama çabasıyla sınırlı kalmamış; taşların özellikleri ve faydaları ile alakalı araştırmalar yapmasına ve taşlar hakkında eserler ortaya koymasına sebep olmuştur. Cevher-nâme adıyla bilinen bu eserler kıymetli taşlar hakkında bilgi, oluşumları, elde edildiği coğrafya, renkleri, çeşitleri, faydaları, kıymeti, saklama koşulları hakkında bilgilerin yer aldığı eserlerdir. Bu eserlerin çoğunluğu mensur olup manzum örnekleri çok az sayıdadır. Bu eserlerden yola çıkılarak incelenen belli başlı çalışmalar bizim de ilgimizi çekmiş ve çalışmamızın oluşmasına zemin hazırlamıştır. Bu çalışmada cevhermücevher anlamına gelen kelimeler Türk dilinin tarihsel dönemlerinde kullanılan şekilleriyle ele alınmış sonrasında ise değerli taşların yakut, elmas, zümrüt ve yarı değerli taşların firuze, kehribar, akik, yeşim nefrit taşı, zeberced, inci, perpi yılan taşı, lacverd vb. kullanım örnekleri Çağatay Türkçesi eserlerinden hareketle okuyucuya sunulmuştur. Bu sunum esnasında art zamanlılık yöntemiyle değerli taşın yer aldığı dönem ve eş anlamlı kullanım örnekleri çalışmaya eklenmiştir. Dönem sözlüklerinde yer alan kullanım örnekleri varsa bunlar da çalışmaya dâhil edilmiştir.
