Artificial Stones
Some gemstones are mainly manufactured
to imitate other gemstones. For example, cubic zirconia
is a synthetic diamond stimulant composed from zirconium
oxide. The imitations copy the look and its colour of the real
stone but actually possess neither their chemical nor its physical
characteristics. However, true synthetic gemstones
are not necessarily made by imitation. For example, diamonds,
ruby, sapphires and also emeralds have
been manufactured in labs, which possess very nearly identical
chemical and also physical characteristics to the genuine article.
Synthetic corundum’s,
including ruby and also sapphire, which are very
common and they cost only a few fraction of the natural
stones. Smaller synthetic diamonds
have been especially manufactured in the large quantities as industrial
abrasives for many years. Only recently, larger synthetic
diamonds of its gemstone quality, especially
of the colored variety, have also been manufactured.
