    If by that statement you are attempthing to justify the position
    that lab created corundum is "natural", then we have no use for the
    term "synthetic" since all matter, all material, everything we eat,
    wear, ride in, use, see or smell originates from the earth. Therefore
    everything is natural, is it not?
