HYDROTHERMAL (LAB) grown GEMS
HYDROTHERMAL (LAB) grown GEMSTONES are genuine gemstones grown from natural material. The gemstones possess the same physical, optical and chemical structure as their mined counterparts.
Each gemstone is an individually crafted gem, individually faceted from crystals grown from natural material.
Due to the rarity of earth mined gems, earth mined gems are not readily affordable.
This is your affordable GEMSTONE.
The Hydrothermal process requires heat and pressure and imitates the conditions deep in the earth that results in the formation of natural gems. Natural nutrients are dissolved in a solution and then synthetic crystals form as the solution cools.
The methods used to create facetable gem-crystals in labs require expensive equipment. The process is slow and energy intensive.
