Moissanite Reviews
Moissanite and diamond are gemstones that are similar in many ways. Like diamond, moissanite offers great resistance to heat and scratches. Its light refraction index is higher than that of diamond but the hardness of moissanite is less than diamond on the mohs scale. Rings with moissanite have this advantage; they cost less, the provenance of the moissanite does not represent any ethical problem and this precious stone is more eco-responsible to produce since it does not require any extraction from the depths of 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 in diamond crystals, this first Nobel Prize winner in chemistry would later identify them as silicon carbide . It is in his honor that this rarity from heaven was named moissanite. It is today recreated in the laboratory using sophisticated devices.
