Moissanite is a rare, naturally occurring mineral also known as silicon carbide. Moissanite was first discovered in 1893 at the site of a massive meteorite strike in Arizona. Scientists in Research Triangle Park, North Carolina later developed the thermal growing process that creates silicon carbide crystals, which are fashioned into moissanite gemstones.
Moissanite is completely Colorless and is similar to All Gem lab including GIA-certified E- Color diamondThe harder a material, the more difficult it is to scratch. On the Mohs Scale of Hardness, moissanite is rated as a 9.25, which is a great score that is higher than any gemstone used in jewelry besides diamonds. Diamonds, which are the hardest known mineral, score a 10.While diamonds are created from the compression of coal and minerals over many hundreds of years in the earth, moissanite comes from the stars
