I did not know that they had man amde so I checked it out and boy is it pretty! This has flaws and not as perfect...what I am saying is I do not know. I buy it as what it is posted and have no way of testing it...do you?
one of my most fave stones!!! this is one of the most gorgeous i have ever seen!!!! "man made?"?????? i have never heard of such a thing. watching this one too!! :o)
Google it! I was surprised also! If I hit it with a hammer and it bust all to heck does that mean it is real? lol, I do not know how to test them but have listed a few and never had a complaint!
Don 't do anything to damage it. I have found that the real stone is usually heavier and when I put it to my young it is cooler than the synthetic. Hope this helps. F&W
