What is the difference between lab-created and natural Amethyst?
Lab-created, or manmade, Amethyst looks identical to natural Amethyst. Experts often have a hard time telling the difference. The main difference is that it’s rare to find a significant amount of natural Amethyst. For this reason, natural varieties of the gemstone tend to be more expensive than lab-created Amethyst. It is very hard for anyone to be able to tell the different, however.
