Moissanite is a rare, naturally occurring mineral (silicon carbide) discovered in meteorites, but today it's lab-created as a popular, durable, and affordable alternative to diamonds, known for its exceptional sparkle and fire (rainbow flashes) due to its high brilliance, ranking 9.25 on the Mohs hardness scale compared to a diamond's 10. This pendant features a beautiful olive green colored moissanite set in 6 prongs, with round white moissanite accents on the bail.
