I originally didn't consider it magic, but magic is the manipulating of a force in nature through unexplanable means. Sience just means that it can be explained. Also, I think sometimes all magic can be explained (IF it can), like alchemy from full metal alchemist (which is actually a science in the show). There is obviouslyu explanation for the gems powers. In fact, the gems are projections of their stones, so perhaps they don't break the laws of conservation of matter.
