Please, I have a question here as a non chemist:


Is it true to say that as of 2020, chemists can create any gemstone, from 1 to 10 level of Mohs' Scale strengths, artificially?


If so, please detail if it causes any serious financial damages to the "old school" gemstone industry of picking and mining and polishing gemstones from natural environments and deposits respectively, or if the two industries keep thriving one alongside the other.
