General Electric, the company that manufactures the stones, said the diamonds have proved the equal of natural stones in everything but size. The company is ready to produce them in substantial quantities. They have manufactured 100,000 carats of the stones in 2 1/2 years. The man-made diamonds displayed today looked like small piles of sand from a boy's pockets. They are grayish black in color.
