Is it really possible for mankind to make a diamond
They are not some plastic creation made on an assembly line somewhere, but the natural secretions of the mussel, slowly surrounding a foreign irritant in its shell. Some might still protest that they are not real because the process was not started naturally, but with the intervention of man. This is an arguable point.
Amethysts generally come in the color purple, and are used as an ornament. In fact, the Amethyst was one of the first gemstones that man used for jewelry. Ancient people believed that Amethysts have the power to prevent intoxication, protect travelers, assure victory and give business success to the wearer. The word “Amethyst” comes from the Greek “a” meaning “not” and ” methuskein” meaning “to intoxicate”. According to Greek myth, the goddess Diana turned a nymph into amethysts because Bacchus, the god of wine loved her which caused Diana to be jealous.
Would you like to have a brilliant gem that is one of the rarest jewels in the world? Nearly indistinguishable from diamonds to the casual observer, Moissanite is a rare mineral that has the same or more brilliance and fire as a diamond
What is it?
This lab-created mineral is almost as hard as a diamond, looks like diamond, but costs just a fraction of the price.
Relatively new on the jewelry scene, Moissanite was first discovered in 1893 by Nobel Prize winning scientist Dr. Henri Moissan while he was studying meteorite fragments. The naturally occurring meteorite crystals are too miniscule for use in jewelry, but a lab process was created to grow large, single crystals and the crystals became a practical choice for engagement rings.
