A Simulant stone has the same color and appearance of the natural stone but has DIFFERENT chemical elements, hardness and crystal structure as the natural stones.
Synthetic or Lab stones have the SAME chemical elements, color, hardness and crystal structure as a natural stone but it is created in man made conditions (laboratory)
I prefer lab stones because they look exactly like natural ones with much better quality and once you have it mounted in a piece of jewellery it is difficult to tell it from a natural stone. The lab stone is also enviroment safe because it is not extrated from the ground by miners which usually do not have much respect for nature. I have all 3 type listed in my ebay store and they are identified by Simulant, Lab (Synthetic) and Natural.
If you have any additional questions or concerns let me know.
