    Well, there are many creative ways to identify gemstones.. there has
    to be since there are so many creative ways to create synthetics,
    colororize through vapor deposition or diffusion, laser drill
    inclusions, etc etc.. there HAS to be ways to identify these which
    often takes alot of creative methods and intuition. 

    I have to disagree, the gemstone field is not as straightforward as
    you say.
