Hmmm. In fact, GIA has a specific term for that. They call glass added ruby as a "manufactured product". But, I stil agree.

100% agree. It really irritates me when someone says that lab created stones are "fake". They are made with the exact same elements as naturally grown rubies from the earth. If anything, lab grown rubies are in fact "pure rubies" because they don't have any excess materials thrown in by nature that could affect the structure of the ruby. Sometimes lab grown gems are either made from elements or they are grown from a smaller version of the gemstone itself, which in fact makes it very genuine in itself.

I buy gems because they are pretty, but lots of people buy them for the status symbol, and thats the reason why they want a natural ruby, it's more expensive. Like the Iphone.

Your comments make you real amateurs. The main reason for a price is based on RARITY. A carat of Lab made rubies costs between $0.05 and 0.40, depending on the manufacturer and, indeed, they are flawless. Nowadays, synthetic gemstone manufacturers are fabricating rubies, emeralds, sapphires, alexandrites, etc. with inclusions, also. How often can you find in nature a pure ruby, with no inclusions? The answer to this is the answer to your questions.

@@auction4803 I did not argued on "why real stone are not the same price as synthetic ones". I argue about the fact that I don't understand why a majority of "ordinary peoples" are paying a salty premium without getting ANY esthetical added value. Sure, paying the double for the "rarity" of a random object make sense. But here, unless you are a fine jewel collector, I don't understand why "regular people" would pay well above 1000 times for two identical looking stones!!! My only conclusion is that "regular peoples" still think that a lab grown ruby is a "fake, colored glass or zircon ruby", even if both are 100% real ruby down to the atomic structure! The industry prefer to keep the customer in ignorance because of obvious economics reasons. Somehow, it makes me smile and thinks about the church Vs Galileo "E pur si muove!"

@@alexandrevaliquette1941 I just like pretty stones and colors if they are to mean anything in years to come go natural God made if you want pretty and you do not care what people think and they are for pleasure go with what you can afford I don't have millions I buy synthetic

Dig one out of a old ring. There are no real mined ruby's. Everything is glass or lab now. A real natural one carat cost around 20 to 30000 US dollars.
