The name of moissanite comes from Henri Moissan, a French chemist who discovered natural silicon carbide in nature. He first discovered silicon carbide in the meteorite crater in Arizona, the United State.
Moissanite is a good substitute for diamonds. It is very similar to diamonds, but its biggest difference is that moissanite lacks the rarity of natural diamonds, So its value cannot be compared to natural diamonds produced by nature, but only has decorative effects. Radishes and vegetables have their own preferences.
However, "Moissanite" does have many properties close to diamond properties, such as the refractive index and dispersion are greater than diamonds, which makes "Moissanite" look better than diamonds, and the hardness of "Moissanite" It has a hardness of 9.25, which is closer to diamond than other gemstones, and diamond has a hardness of 10.

The word "Moissanite" is worth analyzing. This is a very clever word, but Moissanite is placed before the diamond as an attributive, indicating that this is not a real diamond. In fact, the correct name should be Moissanite, "Moissanite" "Diamond" is just a product name used for promotion and marketing. Its chemical composition is silicon carbide, which is extremely rare in nature. At present, all moissanite on the market is artificially synthesized silicon carbide, which can be produced at a very low cost. Mass production is fast, which is why it can be bought at a very low price.
Moissanite and diamond can be quickly distinguished. Professional gemologists can distinguish them with naked eyes through optical features such as birefringence, you can also use a thermal conductivity meter in conjunction with a conductivity meter for rapid identification .
Although the thermal conductivity meter cannot distinguish moissanite from diamond, both have good thermal conductivity ,But conductivity meters can distinguish the two very well because they have different conductivity properties.
