Are artificial gems as cheap as they say? (monyet.cc)

I've been hearing for years that artificial gems (diamonds, rubies, moissanite, etc) cost a 'fraction' of the real thing. Is this true? If so, where can I as a consumer buy a handful of this stuff?

Note that I don't want jewellery-grade gems, I realise that would cost a lot simply due to rejects and labour to cut / polish. I just want stuff I can mess around with for hobbies and crafts.

So you are looking for empty gems, so you can fill them with the souls of your "friends", allowing you to call upon them anytime to play more boardgames.

A reasonable goal.
