However, lab create diamonds have different forms of metal inclusions. These inclusions are diverse in shape, round, needle-shaped, and rod-shaped. In addition, the metal body will appear golden yellow or black under reflected light.

Of the natural diamonds, except blue diamonds, which are semiconductors, they have no conductivity and do not have any magnetic properties; However, lab create diamonds are likely to have electrical and thermal conductivity.
4,Texture
