The proteins make a sort of casting shell for the crystal growth defining and delimiting it's shape. Not quite atomically precise but well beyond the capabilities of free space thermodynamically grown nanocrystals. This example is still quite simple and primitive. Casting bigger more complex structures will need improvements on [[noncyclic termination control]] for [[de-novo protein engineering]].]]

'''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]].
