5000 degrees Fahrenheit!). The amount of each ingredient is carefully controlled, and finally gets beautiful, flawless crystals. This result is amazing fire and brilliance and certain additives sometimes being used to achieve a similar appearance to genuine diamonds.
Other ingredients are also added to produce various colors.
