Not all Labs like labs

The GIA makes heaps grading natural diamonds. The IGI makes heaps grading LGD’s. HRD grades so few synthetics they have nothing to lose in stopping all together. GCAL? Does Sarine have a plan?
These numbers are from a wholesale platform that sells both, for all shapes and weights.
If I could invest in the GIA I would (and maybe I could even get them to become a consumer protection business?)

Going forward (especially with all the synths out there) GIA should also have a nice business $ grading set jewelry....They also do an authenticity program with eBay....

Other than a money grab Freddy, I never understood why the GIA would do something so guaranteed to be problomatic once gems are unset and properly graded.
BTW seems my chart never uploaded properly
