What Are The Benefits Of Moissanite?
Moissanite has numerous commercial and industrial uses because of its hardness of 9.25 on the Mohs Scale as well as its ability to retain heat, with a melting point of 2,730 °C. Due to its striking resemblance to diamonds, low price and ability to be cut into any shape, moissanite is a popular choice for gemstone jewellery. Moissanite also possesses a higher refractive index (how fast light can pass through a material) than diamonds, which means that they can better sparkle in dull lighting.
Moissanite
What exactly is moissanite? Is it a laboratory-grown diamond substitute? Not at all.
Moissanite is the name given to a naturally occurring and laboratory-grown mineral made up of silicon carbide. Its occurrence in nature is extremely rare and has only been found in upper mantle rock and meteorites. Discoveries have shown moissanite occurs naturally as inclusions in diamonds, xenoliths, kimberlite, and lamproite.
Discovered over 120 years ago, moissanite gems have come so far from being just silicon carbide. Today—because of its rarity—moissanite is lab grown with minimal environmental impact. Because of its durability, moissanite can be found in a variety of cuts, which give jewelry designers a plethora of options for best moissanite engagement rings and other jewelry settings.
When browsing the market for moissanite, keep in mind brilliance and variety. These two factors are what sets the gemstone apart from diamonds and other similar jewelry gems. No matter what shape catches your eye, there’s nothing like seeing this stunning gem in person.
