Synthetic Gemstones

Gemstone-quality minerals are beautiful, but did you know they can also be artificially created? Rick discusses two methods of creating synthetic gemstones, and provides examples of the kinds of corundum and quartz that can be produced from these processes. **THANKS to all the viewers who pointed out that the big synthetic ruby boule was actually Czochralski method and NOT Verneuil. You can look up the differences online. I had the the two methods backwards on this! Sharp eyes viewers!** Video Courtesy of Rock On!
