As opposed to diamonds derived from the earth, Moissanite has a rich history that transcends terrestrial boundaries Its first documented existence was literally out of this world. The story of this sparkling gem begins far away from the bustle of jewelry stores, and continues into the vast expanse of space.
In 1893, French scientist Dr. Henri Moissan was investigating the effects of a meteorite crashing in Arizona when he stumbled upon tiny crystals with a a captivating sparkle. Moissan believed that the crystals were diamonds and sent them to be further examined. However, upon closer examination he discovered that these sparkling stones were composed of silicon carbide, which is a compound never before seen in nature. In appreciation of this discovery, the gemstone was named "Moissanite".
Moissanite is more than an ancient gemstone with celestial roots. The way that the stone reflects and captures light is a further aspect of its character that makes it a truly unique contender in the world of engagement rings.
Moissanite and Light - A Dazzling Romance
Moissanite is the most sparkling and brilliance. This is because Moissanite has an excellent refractive index - a measure of how much light is reflected and bent. The higher the refractive indices, the more sparkle. Guess what? Moissanite has a refractive indices of 2.65 which is more than diamonds, or any other popular gemstone.
As light passes through a Moissanite stone and breaks it into a spectral show of colors, resulting in a dazzling display of fiery, rainbow flashes. This phenomenon, known as "dispersion," is what gives Moissanite it's exceptional brilliance, fire, and radiance, which, in actual fact, are higher than diamond's. Yes, you read that right.

Moissanite is listed at 9.25 on the Mohs scale, a common measure of mineral hardness in the industry of gems. This is a little below the perfect 10 for diamonds. This makes it one of the toughest known substances on the planet suitable for everyday wear without the worry of breaking or scratching.
