Lab created diamonds---a very disruptive technology
Advertisements [?]

Lab created diamonds, along with graphene, another carbon based technology will revolutionize technology in so many ways...medical imaging, data storage, lasers, semiconductors, energy efficiency etc....It just goes on and on....Oh, and jewelry also. I'm just surprised there arn't more companies producing them and more private investment into the concept. So far only Apollo Diamond in Boston and Gemesis Diamond in Florida are the two only main players. Some fascinating links below....

FYI...purchasing lab created diamonds for jewelry is still VERY expensive, but lab created rubies and sapphires, (the exact same chemical formula as the natural stones al2o3) are already available dirt cheap and very high quality, at
http://www.pehnec.com about $1.00 each for a stone that if made naturally, would sell for $60,000-$80,000
