Are these gemstones lab created?

From the stones I received they have imperfections that only natural stones will have

Nope, there soap stone. They are polished stones without sharp corners for that very reason

They are made from carbon and it does come with a certificate, it has a card explaining the chemical formula as well. The diamond and band look really great.

Yes, they are adhered to a piece of wood between all three stones. I've had mine for a couple years and it still works beautifully!

Hi..yes it is normal. Some stones are cut to include these beautiful imperfections. All stones have them. The ones that do not are polished down to get rid of them. I think they make the stone more beautiful......after all, we are all a bit imperfect but beautiful.....right? ;-)

Yes they are but you do receive a lot of different shapes and sizes. I used super glue for nails to place the stones in and haven't had any issues with them falling off after that.

Actually, none of them are really black. The small and medium sized stones are more of a slate color with green and blue tints. The largest stones are closer to being black, but are not as dark as the image suggests. They aren't uniform in color, but the stones in person are way more aesthetically pleasing than the image portrays. For $20 it isn't a bad set at all.

No one item alone will positively identify a colored gemstone since many synthetics have the same optical, chemical, and physical properties of natural stones. Generally, it is a combination of different instruments that help in identification, and then that needs to be coupled with experience in separating some synthetics from natural. A refractometer will give you the refractive index of a gemstone, and in some cases that can serve as a positive ID if no true synthetic has been produced for that particular stone. But even then, the r.i. of some gemstones overlap each other, as well as being the same color, which makes other testing necessary.

No they are not they are just solid silver, which balances the rhinestone frame so that it's not over sparkly. :)

I don't think so because they are randomly put in together. I think you're better off purchasing individual shaped beads or the colors. Hope this answered your question

I did not have any black backing just a form of mesh. They are not real rhinestones but some plastic material/acrylic cut to look like a sparkled stone.

No, mine aren't. They are mostly the grey black in the picture, but some have flecks of rust color one is even an pale grey (it holds heat amazingly well). I have come to LOVE the different colors because I can quickly pick out which stone I want for that particular purpose. If they were all black it would take me longer. I think that the differences are beautiful!

As far as I know, as of the build of the unit I found in the bin, the crystals were made of glass, including the long round tubes between the little crystals. Very fragile. I kind of wish they did make those out of plastic. Don't know about current production. You might contact the manufacturer for more current information.

A gemstone? I don't really think so unless you are cutting a microslide of a mineral ore, for that kind of augmented view you should use a Stereoscopic Microscope :)

It is hard to test a stone in the setting. All the stone i have tested is without setting.
