This article was just discussed recently, and the upshot was that there IS a noticeable difference in the man-made stones. If recollection serves me correctly, a few commented in that thread that the synthetics have a brown tone to them that is easily noticed when compared side-by-side with natural diamonds.

The article is incorrect on a number of things, one of which is this assertion. Apollo diamonds are very interesting but they are not undetectable.
