Abstract

Provided is a method for manufacturing a synthetic gemstone, which manufactures a synthetic gemstone from a body tissue separated from a person or an animal, the method including: extracting a biological material from the body tissue; preparing a mixed material by mixing the biological material with a gemstone material; and growing a synthetic gemstone on a crystal seed as a single crystal by melting the mixed material.

Claims

1-16. -16. (canceled)

17. A method for manufacturing a synthetic gemstone, which manufactures a synthetic gemstone from at least one of a hair, a fingernail, and a toenail separated from a person or an animal, the method comprising:

extracting a biological material from at least one of the hair, the fingernail, and the toenail;

preparing a mixed material by mixing the biological material with a gemstone material; and

growing a synthetic gemstone on a crystal seed as a single crystal by melting the mixed material,

wherein the extracting of the biological material from at least one of the hair, the fingernail, and the toenail comprises;

disposing at least one of the hair, the fingernail, and the toenail in a furnace; and

removing an organic material in at least one of the hair, the fingernail, and the toenail by completely combusting at least one of the hair, the fingernail, and the toenail while allowing air to flow into the furnace,

wherein the gemstone material comprises at least one of an aluminum oxide and a silicon magnesium oxide.

18. The method of claim 17, wherein the extracting of the biological material from at least one of the hair, the fingernail, and the toenail further comprises cleaning at least one of the hair, the fingernail, and the toenail by using a cleaning solution.

24. The method of any one of claims 17, 19 and 21, wherein the preparing of the mixed material comprises mixing the biological extract and the gemstone material by using a mixer.

25. The method of claim 24, wherein the mixing of the biological extract and the gemstone material by using the mixer comprises mixing the biological extract, the gemstone material, and a ceramic ball, and the mixer is a double shaking mixer.

26. The method of any one of claims 17, 19 and 21, wherein the forming of the synthetic gemstone as a single crystal comprises:

a material input step of inputting the mixed material to a material input unit;

a sparking and heating step of sparking a flame by using oxygen and hydrogen and raising a temperature of an inner space of a muffle by the flame;

a melting step of melting an uppermost portion of the crystal seed;

an expanding step of growing a first portion of the synthetic gemstone by allowing the melted mixed material to be arrived on the crystal seed;

a growing step of growing a second portion of the synthetic gemstone by allowing the melted mixed material to be arrived on the first portion; and

a warming step of reducing an internal stress of the synthetic gemstone,

wherein while the first portion is grown, a diameter thereof increases, and while the second portion is grown, a diameter thereof is maintained to be constant.

19. A method for manufacturing a synthetic gemstone, which manufactures a synthetic gemstone from at least one of a hair, a fingernail, and a toenail separated from a person or an animal, the method comprising:

extracting a biological extract from at least one of the hair, the fingernail, and the toenail;

preparing a mixed material by mixing the biological extract with a gemstone material; and

forming a synthetic gemstone on a crystal seed as a single crystal by melting the mixed material,

wherein the extracting of the biological extract from at least one of the hair, the fingernail, and the toenail comprises;

extracting a biological material from at least one of the hair, the fingernail, and the toenail;

putting the biological material into distilled water;

boiling the distilled water to separate the biological material into the biological extract and a sludge;

removing the sludge in the distilled water; and

extracting the biological extract from the distilled water, wherein the gemstone material is at least one of an aluminum oxide and a silicon magnesium oxide, and the sludge is not dissolved in the distilled water.

20. The method of claim 19, wherein the extracting of the biological extract further comprises:

putting the gemstone material into the distilled water; and

evaporating moisture in the distilled water.

21. A method for manufacturing a synthetic gemstone, which manufactures a synthetic gemstone from cremation ashes of a corpse of a person or an animal, the method comprising:

extracting a biological extract from the cremation ashes;

preparing a mixed material by mixing the biological extract with a gemstone material; and

forming a synthetic gemstone on a crystal seed as a single crystal by melting the mixed material,

wherein the extracting of the biological extract from the cremation ashes comprises;

removing foreign substances in the cremation ashes by heating the cremation ashes in a furnace;

putting the cremation ashes into distilled water;

boiling the distilled water to separate the cremation ashes into the biological extract and a sludge;

removing the sludge in the distilled water; and

extracting the biological extract from the distilled water,

wherein the gemstone material is at least one of an aluminum oxide and a silicon magnesium oxide, and the sludge is not dissolved in the distilled water.

22. The method of claim 21, wherein the extracting of the biological extract from the distilled water comprises:

putting the gemstone material into the distilled water; and

evaporating the distilled water.

23. The method of claim 21, wherein the extracting of the biological extract further comprises stirring a diluted solution by using a stirrer comprising a stirring bar and an electric motor configured to move the stirring bar.
