from JTV's Gemopedia (TM):
Hydrothermally grown synthetic emeralds crystallize slowly out of a
solution (a mix of water and dissolved elements) that has been exposed
to heat and pressure similar to the conditions on Earth under which the
natural gem mineral grows. Synthetic gems have the same chemical,
optical, and physical properties of their natural counterparts, but are a
more cost-effective alternative to a natural gem.
from the internet:
The gemstones created in lab and the ones mined underground bear
similar chemical, physical and optical properties. Those made in
laboratory are superior because they are close to perfection, affordable
and have lesser carbon traces.
Emerald is a gemstone which is rare in its natural and perfect form;
and if it is available somewhere, the cost remains too high. But, there
is nothing to worry because lab created emerald stones
are always available as a perfect alternative. You should understand
that emeralds created in laboratories are not imitations. Although
imitation emerald is also artificially made, it does not follow nature’s
recipe. The one developed in the laboratory can be trusted because
their recipe is similar to the natural ones. Moreover, the chemical
composition, physical appearance, and optical isomerism of lab created emerald stones are similar to those of natural emeralds.
The formation of emeralds below the earth is a very lengthy process,
but in lab the same process and same composition are completed in a
fraction of time and the cost incurred is very less as compared to
mining. The lab created emerald is so similar to the
natural one that it is very hard for an average eye to identify the
difference. The differences between both kinds of gems can only be
identified by an experienced person and that too with the help of high
magnification instruments.
The natural emeralds have various minerals and gases which get
included during the molten stage of stone development. This is the big
difference because lab made emeralds undergo controlled and steady
process of minerals, pressure and heat application, thereby have less
inclusions and are very close to perfection. So, people get the
opportunity to have high-quality lab created emerald which is significantly priced lower as compared to its natural counterpart. from gemsngems.com
