    You may be confusing your terms. CZ's are both a simulant (meant to
    imitate diamond) and a synthetic (man made). Anything made by man (as
    opposed to coming out of the earth) is synthetic. Hence the Apollo
    (and all like them) diamonds are synthetic (made by man). Cultured is
    a phrase that, in my book at least, is misleading in this case.
