Synthetics
A man-made stone that has the same physical, optical, and chemical properties, and the same chemical composition, as the genuine or natural stone that it reproduces. Many gem materials have been made synthetically as a scientific experiment, but only corundum, spinel, emerald, rutile, garnet, quartz, chrysoberyl (alexandrite), opal, and turquoise have been made commercially and cut as gemstones for the jewelry trade.
