 | | MARTIN RAPAPORT: A synthetic diamond by itself is no problem, as long as the industry maintains rules of detection and disclosure, that means scientifically, gemologically, the industry is able to detect that a certain type of diamond is a synthetic, is not a natural stone. |
 | | Synthetic diamonds and natural diamonds, because the nature of the defects are different in both types of diamond, emit different types of light, different types of spectra because the defects are different. |
 | | If you rotate the diamond round, you see these octahedral growths sectors have grown larger, and at the same time that initial small cubic sector has grown much larger as well, so this very simple growth sector structure is indicative of a near colorless synthetic diamond. |
