hard (soft) metal and gems is what they cannot do this with... although even diamonds can be grown in a lab.
The diamond market is controlled to produce artificial scarcity. There are plenty of diamonds in vaults. There was a huge diamond mind found in Russia that could flood the world's markets with real diamond costume jewelry, but that story has disappeared.
It was also a created market as well. Two hundred years ago, no one cared about diamonds. It was all rubies, sapphires, and emeralds.
Can you make any money fossicking for gems? I believe there are decent sapphires near me.
The Old Pressley Sapphire Mine in Canton, NC, near Asheville is a good place to search, if they're still open. I found a blue-gray one big as my thumb embedded in off-white stone. I had an 8-carat cabochon cut from it, leaving most of the gem for cutting someday in the future. All the rubies and emeralds I've found in western NC were tiny, dark stones that looked a lot like pieces of old crayons.
Sounds exciting! Maybe I'll make my way to your neck of the woods some day but for now I'm stuck in Australia ;)
