Abstract

See full text

Synthetic gemstones having extraordinary brilliance and hardness are formed from large single crystals of relatively low impurity, translucent silicon carbide of a single polytype that are grown in a furnace sublimation system. The crystals are cut into rough gemstones that are thereafter fashioned into finished gemstones. A wide range of colors and shades is available by selective doping of the crystal during growth. A colorless gemstone is produced by growing the crystal undoped in a system substantially free of unwanted impurity atoms.
