Default Market for imperfect gemstones?

By the way, that Super Diamonds show on the Discovery Channel was fun and
interesting. *But remember, like any media information source, there can be
errors of ommision or fact, and the shows tend to present the points of view
that will most advance their goal of being watched by a wide audience. *That can
skew the data a bit. * Remember that the show producers, though they may be
talking to scientists and researchers, are still TV producers and journalists,
not scientists themselves. *If they're talking to the owners of companies
promoting their synthetics, guess what sort of point of view they're going to
get... * Discovery Channel is usually pretty good, and this show is no
exception. *But it's still journalism, with it's own agenda, * And that agenda
is not always a totally impartial examination of all sides of an issue.

Yeah, it's kinda' like watching "Mythbusters" episodes of 'what they
prove' to be true..untrue. Their show on whether or not the moon
landings were real was a RIOT ! hahaha, I've never SEEN two guys SO
BIASED on what THEY perceived as the truth ! I completely lost any
respect I 'might' have had for those two CLOWNS and that show...
