Lovely bi-color green and pink Synthetic Sapphire
This is a treat for the synthetic enthusiasts!
Synthetic sapphire shares the same chemical composition, crystal structure, and physical properties as natural sapphire, as both are composed of aluminum oxide (Al₂O₃) and crystallize in the trigonal system. Like natural sapphire, synthetic sapphire exhibits exceptional hardness (9 on the Mohs scale), excellent optical clarity, and a wide range of colors due to trace element variations. The primary difference lies in their formation, with natural sapphire developing over millions of years in geological environments, while synthetic sapphire is created in controlled laboratory conditions using methods such as the Verneuil or Czochralski process.
