    Quotes from a couple of others here...

    Not so, for example natural white sapphire was often used to
    simulate diamond. 

    Simulation is about the purpose the material is put to. 

    Synthesis refers to the process that makes it. 

    Now, where can I get hold of, say, 50 carats of these new synthetic
    diamonds....anyone?
