The Gemological Institute of America (GIA) examined a lab-grown 6.87-carat stone that growers intentionally shaped to imitate a rough natural-diamond crystal. The near-colorless stone is believed to be the first time creators of a synthetic chemical vapor deposition (CVD) diamond have shaped it to resemble a rough diamond, according to an article in the spring issue of the institute’s Gems & Gemology quarterly journal. Upon investigation with the use of raman spectroscopy, the results confirmed that the material was a diamond, with its near-octahedral shape similar to that of a natural rough crystal. Further analysis showed that it was not a true octahedron, as only one set of opposing faces was parallel. Microscopic observation under differential interference contrast revealed extremely flat faces marked mainly by parallel polishing lines, unlike the growth steps and trigons typically seen on natural octahedral faces. The facet junctions were extremely rough, possibly due to measures taken to improve the color, after which the main faces appear to have been repolished, the institute explained. X-ray Laue diffraction showed that none of the stone’s faces matched the planes in a way that is typical of a natural-diamond octahedron. Two opposite faces matched planes in a manner consistent with the stone being

Business Insider’s Post When Amanda Leigh Lichtenstein walks into a suburban mid-century house with her sister, they're on the hunt for treasures that will make our customers happy — but they also like to marvel at the elaborate wallpaper in the bathroom. They have time now to sift through the junk drawers and basement bookshelves. Within the last few years, they both were laid off from their jobs as writers and editors. While they continue to fling their résumés into the ring, they keep themselves busy at estate sales and thrift stores. Their mother taught her three daughters how to find treasures in the junk, and Lichtenstein has always enjoyed the thrill of the hunt, but she never imagined turning their shared love for vintage into a small business.
