It's probably how you look at it.
As a gemcutter I understand that a stone having a 'flaw' will make the stone less valuable but as a stone collector and also as someone who is interested in their metaphysical properties a 'flaw' is often a 'gift'. Something that makes a stone or a crystal stand out and make it more special.
For instance I have a large Peridot crystal with Ludwigite/Vonsenite needles running through them. For a gemcutter it would a be stone of little interest. As a stone collector it's very interesting because it's a crystal that is rather rare and apparently comes from one place only so I want to know more about it (didn't really succeed but you get my drift). As a metaphysical stone I am also very interested in its' properties. So all those different ways of looking at stones and crystals resonate with me. It's like they all matter to me.
