i’ve recently bought a lab created Emerald which is about 10 carats from a shop on Etsy and they claim that it is a lab created Colombian emerald and it arrived recently. It is wonderfully cut
and nice and green that you would expect for a Colombian emerald, but my question is, is it genuine or is it just a piece of glass that has been faceted to look like an emerald?
Sorry to say this, you seem a little confused, but it’s what it say’s it is, lab created, man made, synthetic, all the words you know for NOT a genuine Emerald. I’m not sure how the location makes any difference, but I hope you didn’t pay a lot for it.
Yes you are right, lab emerald and man made glass are 2 different things, both synthetic, but the lab emerald would be a little more valuable. Also there is different type of processes to create lab emerald/beryl that have different value as well. And by Columbian, I think they only meant that as its color, not necessarily the location witch it was made. Standard gemological test can tell if it’s syn. Emerald vs. glass.
