That’s not entirely correct. Because man made diamonds have a perfect cuboid structure that rarely occurs in nature, a diamond at the sizes man made diamonds are can be detected. Essentially they’re too perfect at a molecular level. So there are labs that can determine the difference. Though, saying the difference is because man made is better isn’t a great selling point.
