Abstract
Gem-quali ty synthetic diamond crystals weighing up to 11 ct have been grown in limited numbers at the De Beers Diamond Research Laboratory since the 1970s. These crystals have been produced strictly on an experimental basis and are not commercially available. Examination of a group of 14 brown1s17 yellow, yellow, and greenish yellow synthetic diamonds reveals distinctive gemological properties: uneven color distribution, geometric graining patterns, metallic inclusions, and, i n most cases, fluorescence t o shortwave but not to long-wave U.V radiation.
