Diamonds can play you false

A recent article in Wired magazine reported that it is now possible to create artificial diamonds that cannot be detected by any amount of laboratory analysis. THERE IS NO WAY TO DETECT PHONY DIAMONDS absolutely -- not all fake stones. What the article did not discuss was whether this applied to other gemstones, though I guess it may. And also this was not discussed --the repercussions on the precious stones market. It seems to me that this scientific feat of creating such good artificial diamonds should diminish the value of all stones, except maybe older stones with a well documented provenance. And heck, if you can fake a diamond, faking a provenance is a piece of marzipan. Well some of us anyway are out of the diamond market.
