[Rockhounds] Man-made gems

[larryrush at att.net]

Interesting site for glassblowers and/or mineral collectors...
 

I'm not quite sure whether this is a boon or a bane for collectors.   It can help to promote interest in crystallography.
At the same time it's disconcerting. 

Doesn't this fall into the category of "mineral fakes"? It is sure to NOT be labelled as such, ultimately.

Comments?
