Moissanite - GemStone


Moissanite is a rare gem that has almost all of the qualities of a diamond. It was first discovered in 1893.


 


Moissanite has some incredible properties that make it ideal for jewelry  In fact, it is more brilliant  and more fiery (rainbow colors) than a diamond.


 


It is very hard -- it is harder than every jewel except diamond. Moissanite jewels are durable and resist chipping.


 


Moissanite is one of the colorless gemstones and is clear in appearance, although, some of the stones can be a very faint yellow with a green tint.


 


It is commonly set in white gold or platinum but looks great combined with a variety of metals and stones.


Moissanite are a bit softer than diamonds, but harder than all other mineral-based gemstones....
