Lab created, Lab grown and synthetic are synonymous terms. To use either of these terms, according to the FTC, the gemstone must be identical to the natural in every way: Chemical Composition, Hardness, and Optically .

"It is unfair or deceptive to use the word; laboratory-grown, laboratory-created, [manufacturer name]-created, or synthetic with the name of any natural stone to describe any industry product unless such industry product has essentially the same optical, physical, and chemical properties as the stone named." The key is that Lab Created and Synthetic are identical to the natural. Only difference being it is not from the earth. No Lab Gemstone is RARE, as the rough can be made anytime. · Ruby is the birthstone associated with July and of the zodiac sign Cancer . · Ruby is associated with the sun in Vedic astrology . · Ruby is associated with a 40th wedding anniversary . · Rubies have always been held in high esteem in Asian countries.
