'''Casting crystolecules'''. Or more accurately '''"in nano-mold crystallization"'''. 
The basic idea here is to use a mold for that inside has surfaces that temlates crystal seed formation 
that initiate crystallization but also a compartment with small enough openings that terminate crystal growth (presumably). 

This only works for in-solvent-crystallizable gemstones. 
In particular clearly excluding diamond and it's hexagonal version [[lonsdaleite]], also likely excluding [[moissanite]] and many semiconductor diamondoid structure gemstones. 
Some salot of oxoacid gemstones may be viable. Iron based gems like hematite, magnetite, pyrite seem viable. 

== Questions ==

* limits on atomic precison in surfaces (and in the interior crystal structure)
* removability of the mold

== Nature of the mold ==

* In early incremental path technology this may protein based molds. 
* In advanced [[gem based APM]] the molds themselves could possibly be made from [[crystolecules]].
