My wife's engagement ring is an emerald, I don't think it was lab grown but it was way cheaper then a diamond and looks easy better then a piece of "glass"

My friend works with lab grown crystals and there re ones like lutetium aluminium garnet doped with cerium (LuAG:Ce) and similar which look awesome

I wonder if there's anyone interested creating lab diamonds that have imperfections that essentially become indistinguishable from the mined ones. There wouldn't be any money in it, but they could theoretically crash the blood diamond market.

I just looked them up, they're almost like kryptonite, or TV Uranium. That's so cool
