Best Answer

If talking about "simulated" and NOT real synthetic / cultured / laboratory-grown diamond (which has the same properties of natural diamonds) I think the best in fire and brilliance is Moissanite, others are considered cheaper fakes.

What is the best cultured diamond?

'Best' is a bit of a relative term. Cultured, or lab grown diamonds, are available in multiple colors from multiple labs. I would note that currently very few *white* lab grown diamonds are available. D.NEA has made whites up to one carat and Apollo Diamonds has offered some up to 1/3 carat. Of the cultured yellow diamonds, the major sellers are Gemesis, D.NEA (was Adia), Takara, New Age Diamonds and Chatham. Takara's yellow diamonds seem to be the most consistently 'pure yellow', rather than the more common orange-yellow from the other labs. D.NEA has the largest selection of blue diamonds. Pink diamonds are available at TakaraDiamonds.com and a few other sites like DiamondsCultured.com (made by Chatham). I'll add some links to the various sites and you can research from there, as best is really partially dependent on what color you like and what type of cut you want. Diamond Culture, a new supplier as of October 2009 has a large selection of IGI certified yellow, pink and lime diamonds, all cut in Antwerp. Created-Diamonds.com is an online retailer of cultured diamonds produced by different labs.

Is diamond considered as mineral?

Man-made diamonds are not considered natural because, by definition, a mineral must form by natural processes.


What element makes up a diamond?

Carbon is the element from which Diamond is formed. Just pure carbon. Made deep in the Earth. The hardest substance known (though all diamonds are not equally hard) and rates 10 on the Mohs hardness scale. This is an arbitrary scale. The hardest diamonds come from the NSW fields of Australia, and are in demand as polishing material. Diamonds also have the highest 'melting point' of the elements - around 3820oK. They have the highest thermal conductivity -- about 400 times that of copper. Other allotropes of carbon are charcoal, graphite, and perhaps graphene.


What are diamonds made of?

Carbon atoms joined together in such a way that it is one of the hardest natural-mineral solids to exist.

What is the difference of a diamond and diamond aura?

Diamond Aura is the name of a SIMULATED diamond, NOT a synthetic diamond. Natural diamonds and synthetic (cultured) diamonds are identical in being made of pure carbon highly compressed with a hardness of 10. Cultured diamonds cost from 2/3 to 3/4 the price of natural diamonds. SIMULATED diamonds are NOT made of pure carbon. Cubic Zirconium (zirconium dioxide with hardness 8.5) and Mossanite (silicon carbide with hardness 9.25) are simulated diamonds and cost vastly less than natural or cultured diamonds. Diamond Aura stones have a hardness of 8.5, which suggests that they are cubic zirconium.


Is a Simulated diamond a real diamond?

Simulated diamonds are also known as diamond simulants and include things like cubic zirconia (CZ), moissanite, and YAG. They can also include some natural clear gemstones like white sapphire, white zircon or even clear quartz. Simulated diamonds do not possess the chemical and physical properties of actual diamonds, so they generally sell for a relatively low cost.

Is there an independent lab to grade simulated diamonds that I can contact to grade these?

noAnother AnswerGrading simulated diamonds implies that there are grades. Often gem-stone-like substitutes for diamonds are fabricated from other minerals, or if man-made, composed of some combination of elements.Knowing the composition of the simulated stones may help you value them. But there does not appear to be a standard grading system for non-gem jewels.

Which diamond is worth more industrial or natural?

Natural diamonds can be industrial diamonds or gemstone quality diamonds. Gemstone quality diamonds are worth more than industrial diamonds. If by 'industrial', you mean man-made, then a natural diamond will always be more valuable than a man-made diamond of equal carat weight, unless the natural diamond is not of gemstone quality.
