    Sorry Cameron, I don't mean to single you out, but-- 

    This really highlights what I was saying a week or so ago about the
    problem of confusion between "synthetic" and "simulted". If even
    folks on this forum have trouble keeping it straight, then most of
    the public clearly will too. So I think "cultured" is going to cause
    much less confusion when describing lab-grown (synthetic, NOT
    simulated) stones. 

    By the way, for the record, CZ's are simulated (diamond). Apollo and
    Gemesis diamonds are diamonds, but synthetic, i.e. lab-grown.
