Abstract

Diamond (C), ruby (Al2O3:Cr), and emerald (Be3Al2Si6O18:Cr) are well-known gemstones around the world, and highly valued for their transparency, hardness and beauty. However, gemstones are still expensive for the increasing market demands. Thus, many scientists have been searching different methods to synthesize gemstones from various materials. Synthesized gemstones and the natural ones are of virtually the same chemical composition and crystal structure. That is why the synthesized gemstones are increasingly used for human ornamentation. In this paper, we present some of the most found methods to make synthesized gemstones.
