    My final.02 on this whole thread is that if anyone is selling
    lab/created/man-made material as natural, or not disclosing that the
    material is man made then you stand to get sued. The FTC has strict
    guidelines on how you handle the terms used to sell 'gems' and what
    can be called a 'gem'. Synthetics can not be called 'gems' in FTC
    standards. 

    Not only that, but you are being dishonest. If the person doesn't
    care if something is synthetic they will buy it either way, but if
    they DO care, and you don't tell them then you open yourself up to
    all kinds of negative attention including being sued. 

    Just my.02.
