Human made jewels

Cubic zirconia and laboratory made rubies,emeralds and sapphires. Would receiving one of these as a gift mean less to you then if it was the genuine thing? If so, why?

I don’t think it matters. Unless somebody lied and said it was a genuine article while it was actually a fake and they knew it. That would be the one time it would matter.

I would say the artificially made ones are cooler. I don't anticipate being given any gems as gifts though

I can't imagine someone giving you a gift and it wasn't to your standards. Someone put energy and effort into it. It's beautiful.

My brother is super into hunting gems and stones and he currently has some opal he has finished polishing(he didn't hunt the opal, he is just part of a community and he got some). You want me to get a piece for you?

I once knew a place where kids rode bikes in the 80s that had amethyst crystals, not large or super nice but still impressive ones, that you could just pick out of the dirt.
Then one day they blew it up with dynamite and build a prison right over it.
I've had several friends do time there since.

I think diamonds that don't include human rights violations are cooler.

I love the artificial stones. Gem quality for cheap. I have an interest in lapidary, and want to get a bunch of rough synthetics to play with on my lap wheel.

So that didn't happen and let me tell you why, and to those that don't believe that the general forces of reality are just generally not in my favor, check this out.
So there is only one dentist anywhere remotely close(almost 2 hours from me) that isn't booked and can get my teeth stuff done, well anyway yesterday, I am literally 7 minutes from the office.....and they call me to tell me the apt has to be rescheduled cos apparently the dentist herself had a medical emergency and had to go to the er....and the cherry on top was I was getting nervous( not because of the extraction but because that one failed extraction still felt major pain even when fully numb last time and that is a big fear that I will have to get this bone extracted with full pain because I am NOT waiting any longer, if it happens again I'm just going to tell her to do it fuck the pain. That's why I wanted a xanax cos I was and still am fully prepared to do that...) so my ride gave me a xanax before they called me....so I literally took a Xanax for nothing 💀

Ok he has some that he had just tumbled and he has some raw. Which would you like? I'm gonna buy it off of him to support him(it probably won't be much anyway) but you don't have to pay me anything back

That's cool, I don't actually own any pearls, in fact the only gem I have I think is an emerald, if it's real, I found a ring that supposed to have 3 green stones, but only 2 are left, I think they are emeralds

Missing the top emerald as well as at least 1 diamond, the diamonds are so small it's hard to tell how many I'm missing to to mention there's a bit of dirt in the diamond holes I have to try and clean out
