Are synthetic precious stones - real?

   

     Given that discovered human sparkling stone lying on a bed of stream, precious stones have been coveted by emperors and Kings, rich merchants, humble merchants, the rich and the poor for their rarity and the magnificent beauty. Close the find first that other men actively sought ways to create substitutes, many wish to deceive, others to provide a huge demand of those who could not afford the authentic rarities.

It is important to know the difference between synthetic words, as opposed to artificial or simulated. A synthetic element has chemical and physical properties of the natural product. A synthetic sapphire, for example, is identical to an extract from the soil, but has been assembled by human nature steps and is generally much more perfect than the creation of nature. No India or ancient Persian Emperor has already had a sapphire or ruby as flawless or more "true" that synthetic property.

An artificial stone or a simulant is intended to appear as something, it is not. Some are caused by human fakes, others are natural materials, imitating another stone. Some, such as spinel and quartz, for example, are really natural and synthetic stones taken appear as diamonds, Ruby and sapphires, becoming "simulants", even though they may not be caused by man. Several rings sizes are synthetic spinel claiming to be a Ruby, Sapphire or emerald. They can be very beautiful, but should not be confused with natural or synthetic stones.

Because diamonds have always been so valuable, it has been an ongoing attempt down through history to find one simulating undetectable, or to synthesize the stone itself. Both the most successful doubles diamond is cubic zirconia and Moissanite. Cubic zirconium is really crystallized zirconium dioxide and no doubt the Crown Diamond more visually perfect with almost identical refraction and the fire of a real diamond. Moissanite is crystallized silicon carbide, tips on wheels.

Other diamond substitutes include Garnet yttrium aluminum (YAG), spinel, quartz, glass, etc. The list is almost endless.

In recent years, real progress has been made in the production of synthetic diamonds, real crystallized carbon. Synthetic diamonds are now produced almost without fault and this put De Beers and other minors of diamonds in a frenzied search for countermeasures. Synthetic can now be detected with near certainty using infrared spectroscopy or x-ray fluorescence. In addition, the cost of production has already ensure that synthetics will not be good markets.

Ruby and Sapphire synthetic is crystallized oxide of aluminum, colored with some trace elements. It's cheap to make, cheap to buy, affordable to almost anyone. Loose stones, particularly in sizes over three carats, are a striking beauty. When set in gold with diamond accents, they are stunning!

Synthetic are real? Yes. They are natural? No.. They are beautiful? Certainly! Because the conditions are controlled, synthetic are the more perfect that you could ever meet. Many people of wealth discovered their beauty and carries synthetic on a daily basis, leaving their expensive natural stone locked in a vault. Never look with scorn on synthetic fabrics. Solomon in its wealth and glory has never had such a perfect ruby. And, Yes, it is "true."
