I believe it’s the same in all of the Middle-European heraldic tradition…
PS. Thank you Ton, I’ve already started to think I was loosing my mind…
Armorial Charter issued (in Serbian and English) for the arms above:
The latest issue of the Belgrade Weekly „Evropa“ has published an article about the intended changes to the arms of Republika Srpska, and a part of this article is my short statement on the subject.

Hmm…in medieval Europe, were gemstones ever counted as precious "metals"??
I know in old arabic texts that diamonds are counted as precious metals, and vice versa, gold, silver, ivory, pearl, and coral are counted as "Al Ahgar al Karima" literally: The Noble Stones.
I think this would explain a lot!
No, though there’s a long-abandoned practice that was once fashionable of blazoning the arms of people of certain rank using gemstones to stand in for the regular tinctures.
