As a matter of fact, they are just a bit, too perfect, which is one of the ways gem experts recognise them. However, a buyer of gems need not be too concerned, because com. petent jewelers can always distinguish between the natural and man made stones. Diamonds have not been duplicated by man, only stones of lesser hardness. Pearls, while not a mineral stone, are regarded as a gem never-the-less.
