History: Early efforts to produce synthetic crystals were concentrated on making gems. Synthetic ruby was grown by the French scientist Marc Antoine Augustin Gaudin in 1873. Since about 1950 scientists have learned to grow in the laboratory crystals of quality equal or superior to those found in nature.

Gold was generally used for a couple thousand years solely to create things such as jewelry and idols for worship. This was until around 1500 BC when the ancient empire of Egypt, which benefited greatly from its gold-bearing region, Nubia, made gold the first official medium of exchange for international trade.
