Opinion on moissanite

Moissanite and diamond are gemstones that are similar in many ways. Like diamond, moissanite is highly resistant to heat and scratches. Its index of refraction of light is higher than that of diamond, but moissanite's hardness is lower than diamond's on the mohs scale. The advantages of moissanite rings are that they are less expensive, the source of moissanite is not an ethical issue, and this gemstone is more environmentally friendly to produce since it does not require extraction from deep within the earth.

The origin of moissanite

It was in 1893 in the state of Arizona, in the United States, that the French chemist Henri Moissan discovered the first fragment of moissanite in a canyon created by a meteorite 50 000 years ago. Initially believing them to be diamond crystals, this first Nobel Prize winner in chemistry later identified them as silicon carbide. It is in his honor that this rarity from the sky was named moissanite. Today, it is recreated in the laboratory using sophisticated equipment.
