WHAT IS MOISSANITE???
Moissanite is natural silicon carbide which is impossibly rare on Earth; in fact, it first gained fame when tiny particles were discovered by the Nobel Prize-winning French chemist Dr. Henri Moissan at the site of a massive meteorite strike in Arizona. This intriguing new stone was named Moissanite in his honor, and Moissan spent the rest of his life attempting to re-create this rare mineral, which is among the hardest materials on Earth.
Many years later moissanite was finally perfected and innovative process that creates silicon carbide crystals with such purity that it rivals any earthly gemstone for fire and brilliance. In these gems, which are more durable than diamond, sapphire, ruby, or emerald, this fire and brilliance will last forever.
Moissanite is grown right here in the USA within exact specifications and high quality control standards. Each gem is hand-faceted by a skilled gemstone cutter to create its maximum brilliance and enhance moissanite’s exceptional fire.
With a refractive index of 2.65-2.69, moissanite exhibits more brilliance than diamond. And thanks to a dispersion that’s 2.4 times higher than diamond, moissanite bends light into mesmerizing rainbow flashes of fire… more than twice as much as diamond. By day and by night, moissanite’s conspicuous brilliance is spectacular.
Moissanite vs. CZ:
Moissanite is harder (does not scratch easily), has more fire and sparkle and will not turn cloudy or fade with time. Cubic zirconium, or cz, is softer than moissanite, will scratch easier which inherently turns it cloudy over time, looks more like glass.
