I’m 29 and I JUST learned this past month that India Ink is fucking waterproof when it dries. Like yes, form, and shape and space and color theory and figure drawing is important, but so is KNOWING what different tools do. In all my art classes, I was never taught HOW to use the various tools of art. But humans really be like on gOD i want some shiny an just started MAKIN emįor years people wanted alchemy, well now we have alchemy and we’re making gemstones out of it and suddenly “it doesn’t count” anymore

So fuck the diamond indsutry and buy lab grown gems which cost significantly lessĪlso it’s just cool to think of some mad scientist lookin person doing shit against the law of the universe and making pretty gems for you. Moissanote also has a 2.69 refractive index in comparison to diamond’s 2.419 and here is the differenceĪnd the best thing about moissanite? It is all lab grown and it costs only a fraction of what diamond costs.

It has a 9.25 on the mohs hardness scale where diamond is a 10. We are a pro-lab-grown mineral blog here, not only is it massively cheaper but massively more ethical as well in many cases.Īnother very cool lab grown gem is Moissanite. Not even going to lie, the day i learned i could get like 15 lab grown rubies the size of dimes for $20 is the day i spent $20 on rubies, and i have never once said to myself “man, i wish this cost $1,600 and the lives of eight children to produce” It also ties into the bullshit of the wedding industry as a whole but we don’t have the time to unpack all that There is so much bullshit in the diamonds industry to be mad about tbh. It’s carbon it’s pretty and it didn’t involve slave labor what’s not to love? Hi I’m having geology opinions tonight apparently. An artificially grown diamond is the same shit as a natural diamond it is the exact same material bro it’s all fuckign carbon

Calling lab grown gemstones “fake” is stupid because it’s the same shit just not formed naturally.
