You'll find many gorgeous mined sapphires, rubies, and emeralds at Stauer. However, we like to provide our customers options for getting the exclusive look of precious mined gemstones without the precious price. Our Scienza stones are scientifically grown to recreate the intense pressure and heat that nature uses to produce gemstones far beneath the surface of the earth. Scienza (Italian for science) stones are chemically identical to natural gemstones and, in fact, display a better color and sparkle than most mined stones. The difference is the price. Instead of spending up to $30,000 per carat for "almost perfect" from nature, you get "better than perfect" for much less!
