Question:

How do geologists tell the difference between natural and artificial (e.g. cement) rocks?

I'm having a hard time finding information about this on the Internet. I'm searching for a way to determine if a rock naturally formed or was somehow synthesized by people.

Answer:

Cement/concrete has a distinctive appearance and chemical composition. That said certain brescias might fool you.
