What is Moissanite?
Moissanite is the most brilliant gemstone in the world and was discovered in a Meteorite Crater in 1893 by a scientist named Henri Moissan. The enchanting sparkle of this stone is sometimes referred to as “Moissanite fire” and is one of the most appreciated features of this jewel. It has maximum brilliance, flash and sparkle than any other jewel on earth.
Moissanite is different from a diamond scientifically, but there are many similarities between them. Diamond is Carbon while Moissanite is Silicon Carbide. Both stones are extremely hard and appropriate for day-to-day wear. Both appear to be colorless and have exceptional sparkle and shine! Both are considered genuine stones for use in jewelry.
Since it is virtually improbable to have naturally occurring Moissanite in the surface of the earth, scientists discovered a way to grow Moissanite in a chemical laboratory. This scientific breakthrough was a pivotal moment and led to us being able to enjoy this one-of-a-kind gemstone. Since all Moissanite used in jewelry are grown in a laboratory and not earth-mined, you can be sure that it is conflict free, ethically sourced, and environment friendly.
Moissanite is not a Diamond, nor a fake Diamond. It is a totaly different gemstone. It has a combination of beauty and affordability that can't be matched making it a popular choice around the world.
