AND SYNTHETIC GEMS
New-York tribune., 1912-04-21
ARTIFICIAL AND SYNTHETIC GEMS
BY W. c. DUMAS

are soft and easy to scratch. They have a
smaller specific gravity or are lighter than
the real stone, and nearly always contain
lines and bubbles.
The dealer in gems thus may discover the
artificial; but he finds it frequently almost
impossible to tell the difference between the
real and the synthetic gem.
Of course the first step in any synthesis
is to find out the composition of the object
to be SvntheSizcd. In the case OF most gems,
the materials are difficult to melt; so it was
impossible for man 10 use his knowledge OF
the composition Of these stones for their
synthetic production until he discovered the
oxyhvdrogcn flame and until the advent Of
the electric furnace, which afford high enough
temperatures for the fusion of his materials.
Imitation Rubies Are Real
THE synthetic ruby has been and is now
being produced on a commercial scale
in France. 1t is rs real rs the natural ruby
made in Natures own laboratory. The
natural ruby is composed of pure alumina,
Colorcd red by traces Of oXidS of chromium
and manganese Knowing of what the ruby
consists and in what proportion, It became
a simple matter to melt together these con
stitucntS, provided high enough tcmpera-
turc could be attained.
Ncrncuil'S method was this: He first pre-
pared a solution of aluminium alum and a
little chrome alum in the correct proportion.
TO this solution he added ammonia water,
which prcciptatcd or threw out of solution
the hvdroxidS Of aluminium and chromium.
These hvdroXids were thoroughly washed
1 ,I,.,, th,,, .arptt,llN tod
This ignition changes them to the oXidS of
aluminium and chromium, which are then
finely ground, giving an intimate mixture
of the two componcntS. by special arrange
ment, this powder is slowly ,ifted through
flame of twenty-five hundred degrees Cent?
grade, and it fuses into drlblctS which slowly
pile up into pear shaped body beneath the
flame. This ruby pear which collects be-
Meath the flame is in a high state of mole
cular strain. and if Jared will fly into small
pieces so it is necessary to cool or anncal
it gradually in order to relieve this strain.
After this cooling process 1t is then broken
into pieces, which are cut into stone sizes
and polished, preparatory to being fixed into
settings.
These rubics are real, in spite of the fact
that they have been made quickly by the
hand of man, and possess all the properties
of the native stone Here are the same
beauty of color, index of refraction, hard
ness, luster. and durability. For this reason,
the pawnbroker will no longer accept rubies

WIHAT is a synthetic GEM One hears
" much about synthetic products Of all
sorts i'm these twentieth century days; but
not everyone stops to realize lust what IS
meant thereby. One good definition OF
"synthcsis is that it IS lust the reverse Of
ANALYSIS. BY analysis the chemist or Scicn-
tist asccrtains the component parts Of any
natural substance When ne combines these
component parts, or other similar parts in
like proportions, he produces the synthetic
product. Many commercial products are
SynthcSzcd these days, the oldest and most
interesting OF which are perhaps indigo and
camphor
Science determined years ago the compo-
siton Of all or nearly all gems of the world;
as, for instance, that the diamond was pure
carbon, and that certain other gems were
oXids Of aluminium or corundum or quartz,
Colorcd with various other oXidS.
There must be distinction drawn be-
tween the illcgitimatc countcrtciting OF gems
for the purpose Of selling them under false
representations, and the legitimate Synthesis
Of precious stones. The artificial gem has an
entirely different composition from that OF
the real stone, while the synthetic Jewel Is
of identical chemical composition and pos
scSscS the same properties of brilllancc, hard
ness, and durability. Artificial gems are
made of glasses containing various colonng
matters, and are commonly called paste
icwclry The synthetic gem may be aS good
as the natural precious stone found III the
earth.
The brilliancc of imitation and cheap
gems soon fades The glasses used in the
manufacture of paste are called StraSS,
in honor of the inventor, Josef StraSSer.
These glasses are mostly lead glasses, hav-
ing high rcfraction and initial brllIiancc.
One formula contains silica, lead oMd,
and carbonate Of potash, in the ratio OF
2S, 53, and y. These materials are carefully
puvcrizcd, mixed, and fused into liquid
at carefully regulated temperature. After
the fusion, the glass-or batch, as 1t IS
called-s kept in this state for a period OF
thirtv-fivc to forty hours. If the artificial
glass is to be diamond" it is slowly cooled
without further addition of materials. These
are the white stones" and they exhibit
for a time considerable brlliance.
If gems other than the diamond are to be
made out of this fused mass or batch,
various oxids are added as coloring matters.
Oxid of manganese gives the ruby; cobalt
oxid colors the mass into beautiful sap
phirc; while copper oxid gives the amethyst.
For the emerald oxids of chromium are
used, and antimony compounds give the gar
net and aquamarine. The beauty OF the
golden topaz is obtained by the addition of
uranium oxid before cooling.
The whole success in the manufacture of
these glass gems depends on the thorough
ness of the mixing, the degree OF fneneSS OF
a.. ,,I Ia ,ar.f,I ramtl1tInn n tho
temperature Of fusion. These glass gems
