What is Moissanite?
Originally discovered by French scientist Henri Moissan in 1893, Moissanite is a gemstone born from the stars. He discovered microscopic particles of the gem in a crater created by a meteorite that fell to Earth. Initially thinking that he had discovered diamonds, it was later determined that the crystals were structurally composed of silicon carbide.
Natural moissanite is incredibly rare, so moissanite available today is all laboratory-created. The particles Moissan discovered were successfully synthesized to produce what is now one of the world’s most scintillating gemstones. Moissanite is engineered to produce a look similar to that of diamonds but is compositionally different from that of diamonds.
Moissanite Origins:
Moissanite origins are easily traceable because they are grown in controlled environments using advanced technology, Moissanites require absolutely no mining to produce.
Compared with natural gemstones, lab-created moissanite has a significantly smaller carbon footprint and results in far less impact to the environment. Fine jewellery made with moissanite is a responsible eco-friendly choice.
Moissanite vs. Diamond:
Moissanite is an awe-inspiring gemstone that resembles a diamond in nearly every sense of the word. In a simple traditional thermal probe, Moissanite has been shown to be indistinguishable from the prodigious Diamond. To the naked eye, it sparkles just as brilliantly as its expensive natural counterpart, the diamond.
