Not really. A trained gemologist can tell what kind a colored gemstone is but for the most part can not tell the difference between natural and man made. The same applies to a colored gemstone that has been heat treated.

Regarding dyed, lead filled, etc. - a gemologist can detect these on colored gemstones.
