Flux process has been invented by Tom Chatham in the 1930’s.  It has slow cycle, which needs 6-12 months for growing crystals. Melted with a flux and cooled very slowly mimicking the nature’s processes.  It is worth waiting for expensive gemstones.  Flux process is expensive, as Platinum accessories & crucibles are used.   The un-dissolved flux results in small inclusions like natural gemstones.  The product is very stable with a life-time guarantee for the colour.
