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
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.
No I’m not confused. I know what lab created means. I’m asking how can I confirm its Beryl and not silica glass.
It’s still an Emerald if it’s green Beryl.
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.
