To determine whether something is a standard, refer to the Manual of Style. This is what it states in Literacy:

''Particularly related to Gems and gemstones, the "Gem" race and a Gem's name always have the words capitalized. Confining to the usual grammatical rules, "gemstone" and the names are uncapitalized (e.g. Lapis Lazuli (Gem) / Lapis lazuli (Gemstone))''

Hope this helps!
