Above or below ground diamond? Thoughts

Looking into engagement rings. Just got one priced at a family friend’s shop

2ct F VVS2 for $6,000-7,000 lab grown
That same diamond mined would be roughly 14-15k

They said atomically they are the exact same and the main reason they are different price is the overhead required to mine a diamond vs in a lab.

Anyone have any insight? At first glance it seems like I would be getting a beautiful diamond for a fantastic price.
