Other Lab Grown Gem Roughs
Lab Grown Sapphire and Lab Grown Ruby Roughs
The Lab Grown Sapphire and Lab Grown Ruby Roughs are of the hardest and most durable varieties of gemstones. They are both made from a mineral called corundum and can be made into different colours with the addition of oxides. Inter-Pacific proposes both Lab Grown Sapphires and Lab Grown Rubies for wholesalers and retailers.
Lab Grown Padparadscha Rough
The Lab Grown Padparadscha Rough is a rare type of sapphire made up of the same hard crystallised mineral known as corundum and comes in a beautiful mix of pink and orange. The unique colouration of this gemstone is caused by the trace elements of chromium and iron and make it one of the rarest in the world. Inter-Pacific proposes Lab Grown Padparadschas for wholesalers and retailers.
Lab Grown Alexandrite
The Lab Grown Alexandrite Rough is made up of a type of mineral known as chrysoberyl and has both trace elements chromium and beryllium. It is considered rare for its colour change from green to red. It is known as the “emerald by day and ruby by night”. Inter-Pacific proposes Lab Grown Alexandrites for wholesalers and retailers.
Lab Grown Opal
The Opal Rough is a Lab Grown created gemstone made up of the mineral hydrated silica. Opals are transparent to opaque gemstones that have a waxy or iridescent lustre and multiple colours in a kaleidoscopic display. It comes in many varieties and ranges of colours and is often used in jewellery despite its low wearability. Inter-Pacific proposes Lab Grown Opals for wholesalers and retailers.

The Science Behind Our Synthetic Gemstone Rough Manufacturing
Our expertise lies in mastering the intricate conditions necessary for crystal growth. For crystalline varieties like Lab-Grown Sapphire, Ruby, Padparadscha, and the extraordinary Alexandrite, we employ the Czochralski method. This sophisticated technique involves immersing a minute seed crystal into a crucible filled with molten mineral nutrients, heated to exact temperatures. As the seed is gradually pulled upwards while rotating, the material crystallizes around it, forming a large, singular, and internally flawless crystal boule. The Lab-Grown Opal rough is made via sedimentation method, also known as heterogeneous crystallisation. A three-step process involves microscopic spheres of silica that are created through precipitation. This is followed by 1-year of document dehydration, after which the spheres are consolidated by impregnating the gaps between the spheres with silica, to create the opal’s play-of-colour effects.
Exploring Our Diverse Range of Synthetic Gemstones
Our curated collection caters to every design aspiration.Highlight: Lab-Grown Corundum (Ruby, Sapphire & Padparadscha)Renowned for their durability and color, these gems form the backbone of the ruby and sapphire family. Crafted from corundum, they boast a Mohs hardness of 9.0, second only to diamond. This makes them perfect for any synthetic gemstone 18K,14K,9K jewelry application, from engagement rings to everyday wear. Our process ensures a spectrum of consistent, vibrant colors, spanning from the vivid red and pigeon blood of ruby to the timeless cornflower or royal blue of sapphire and the rare pinkish-orange or orange-pink of Padparadscha.Highlight: Lab-Grown Alexandrite Known as “emerald by day, ruby by night,” our lab-grown Alexandrite showcases a striking and precise color change. This rare chrysoberyl variety transitions from a lush bluish-green in daylight to a warm purplish-red under incandescent light. With a Mohs hardness of 8.5, it blends exceptional beauty with outstanding resilience, offering designers a mesmerizing centerpiece stone.Highlight: Lab-Grown Opal We have mastered the art of creating opal, capturing its kaleidoscopic play-of-color with enhanced stability. Composed of hydrated silica, our lab-grown opal surpasses its natural counterpart in durability and heat resistance (up to 800°C), with a Mohs hardness of 5.5. This provides designers with greater flexibility in setting and ensures long-term wear.
