Overview:Moissanite is a hard mineral that was discovered by Dr. Ferdinand Henri Moissan, a French chemist and Nobel Prize winner. Natural Moissanite is very rare and is limited to iron-nickel meteorites and a few other rare ultra-mafic igneous occurences. Moissanite is hexagonal, not isometric and therefore it is doubly refractive unlike diamond. Moissanite is also slightly less dense than diamond and is rarely perfectly clear of color, having pale shades of green. Moissanite in fact is sometimes placed into the Carbon Group which includes diamond and graphite.

Usage:Moissanite has the potential for shimmering brilliance, fire, luster, and incredible hardness. It has many uses
