Lab-Grown & Conflict-Free: What That Means for Your Piece

“Lab-grown” means the stone was created in a controlled lab environment that replicates the same conditions under which the crystal forms in nature, rather than being dug out of the ground. The atomic structure is identical to the natural mineral. The difference is entirely in how it got here.

Because it’s grown rather than mined, there’s no mining operation behind it, no land disruption, and none of the supply-chain risk tied to gemstones pulled from conflict regions. “Conflict-free” means the stone’s supply chain is untouched by the human rights and financing issues that have historically shadowed parts of the mined-gem industry.

It also means quality control starts at the source. Every moissanite Amison sets is grown to the same standard, piece after piece, rather than sorted from whatever nature happened to produce.
