I agree. Lab created stones have the same hardness...same chemical composition and properties...which is what the seller advertised.
It seems that Ivy and Rose is confusing lab-created with synthetic/simulants? At this point, the seller makes more sense...and assuming you didn't pay a lot, I would let it go.
fwiw - just because a vendor is highly recommended by others doesn't mean they are good at or knowledgeable about all things. Most of what I've read about Ivy and Rose is that many PSers love their inexpensive settings and bench...more so than being colored stone experts.
yes, and the stones that they do sell seem to be diamonds, not CS.
