What is the difference between genuine, synthetic and simulated stones?
Genuine Stones: Genuine stones come from the earth and have been created by God/Nature. Many genuine stones are commonly treated by man to either bring about or enhance their beauty. Some stones are rather unattractive until they have been treated. Synthetic Stones: Synthetic stones are man-made or created stones that have approximately the same chemical and physical characteristics of genuine stones. They are created in a laboratory by man. Simulated Stones: These are stones that only look similar to a genuine stone… they imitate a genuine stone. Note that simulated stones do not look the same as genuine stones.
