What will happen to the earth once all the oil, natural gas, coal, diamonds, gold etc have been taken out?

mongoose_gurl asked:


Surely the earth was made with all those elements in it for a reason. Will the earth just crumble in on itself because of all the hollow cavities left behind? There’s going to be nothing left of it because man’s just taking it all out and not worrying about the consequences. I’m very worried about our future generation because in a 100 years our kids kids are probably gonna be living on Mars, where there won’t be trees, animals and all the other earthly things that we take for granted. I reckon what man has done to the earth is one of the main causes why all these natural disasters are happening more frequently, cos the earth is trying to shake us off so it can try heal itself (if that’s even still possible at this stage!?), not to mention all the polution etc. HELP SAVE THE EARTH!!

appreall asked:


Synthetic diamond jewelry are loads cheaper than the naturl ones. But is something that can be produced so easily really worth paying for? Will the cost of synthetic gems go down in the future, once everyone takes advantage of the cheap price? I mean, is it really worth it?

Antique ring - synthetic or real stones?

ColtsR#1 asked:


I inherited my grandmother’s ring, which is in the art deco style, with three diamonds in the middle (stacked - like a stoplight) and two tubular garnets on either side. I don’t think they’re rubies because they are deep red, but clear. The ring is from the 1920s, and 14K gold. A dept. store jeweler once told me the stones were synthetic because he could see tiny bubbles. Is he right?

lab created diamonds
johanna71983 asked:


Looking to buy an engagement ring and there are alot of less expensive ones with “Lab Created Diamonds”. I did a google search and it came up with sites saying that Lab Created are just as durable, pretty and hard as natural diamonds. But are Lab Created Diamonds the same thing as Cubic Zirconia? Because I always thought CZ was kind of a cheaper, less durable kind of fake diamond.

Anyone know?

Is there a way to create Synthetic oil out of Carbon-based material?

Finswimmer asked:


Crude oil is the result of Carbon based sediments which get covered by other sedimentation, if you add the right amount of pressure and heat then crude oil is the result, my question is, is there a way to replicate this process synthetically?, there are Synthetic diamonds that are created in the lab and they replicate the conditions that make diamonds form, is there a way to do the same with Crude Oil?

Can mined diamonds be scratched or chipped? If so, what conditions would cause this to happen?

Jim O asked:


I bought a synthetic lab-generated diamond from a very reputiable company (at least I thought). When I recieved the stone it looked perfect and great. I was told it had a hardness of 9.2 and had almost all the other characteristicts of a true mined diamond. After about 2 weeks under normal everyday conditions the “synthetic” diamond was scratched. I called the company and asked them about this, and they replied by saying even mined diamonds can be scratched. Is this true? I thought a diamond could only be scratched by another diamond.

bunni asked:


ok i wanna get this straight, people are saying that all red, blue, black, yellow diamonds are lab created and that they arent really natural

so does that mean that all people that have fancy colored diamonds means there fake?

so do they really add color in diamonds to make more money because they are fancy colored? or is this just a myth
