The mood is sombre at a recent gathering of the All India Synthetic Gems Manufacturers and Dealers Association, where the slow death of the once-thriving industry is being discussed. Once known as ‘Rangoon diamonds’ from their manufacturing base in Now, a team of researchers, led by Yongjun Tian and Quan Huang at Yanshan University in China, has created synthetic diamonds losing many of their unique diamond properties. [In Photos: 13 Mysterious & Cursed Gemstones] First, a bit about diamonds You should also consider synthetic gemstones. These days, it's possible to grow rocks that have the same physical, chemical and optical characteristics as their natural counterparts; even trained gemologists often can't tell the difference. (Their makers There are those, particularly in the consumer media, who predict that the arrival of lab-grown diamonds will kill the market for mined diamonds. After all, why would consumers pay less for what is essentially the same product, just produced by a different Synthetic gems cost barely a tenth of natural diamonds. Stars and melees cost between Rs 40,000 and Rs 60,000 per carat and diamantaires earn a huge profit by mixing these cheap synthetic diamonds valued at Rs 1,000 to Rs 2,000 per carat with the natural ones. Diamonds are the hardest naturally occurring minerals known to man. Even so, scientists are working to make them even tougher, in order to use the sparkling gems as tools for cutting. Now, a team of researchers, led by Yongjun Tian and Quan Huang at .
Diamonds are the hardest naturally occurring minerals known to man. Even so, scientists are working to make them even tougher, in order to use the sparkling gems as tools for cutting. Now, a team of researchers, led by Yongjun Tian and Quan Huang at The problem is not that the gemstone has been treated; in fact that often enhances its look. The problem is that most sellers do not disclose this fact. The final category is the lab-made or synthetic gemstone. These stones are meant to imitate natural Note: These gemstone powders are from natural, not synthetic, gemstones. Due to the fine size of the powder particles, the powders do not necessarily resemble the gemstone. For more information about gemstone powders from Goodfellow, call 1-800-821-2870 Synthetic diamonds, or lab grown diamonds, are growing in popularity because they’re a lot cheaper and there’s no conflict diamond concerns. These cultivated gems have the same chemical properties as those created by geological process, and are .
