WHAT IS MOISSANITE?

Mineral moissanite was discovered by Henri Moissan while examining rock samples from a meteor crater located in Canyon Diablo, Arizona, in 1893. At first, he mistakenly identified the crystals as diamonds, but in 1904 he identified the crystals as silicon carbide. Artificial silicon carbide had been synthesized in the lab by Edward G. Acheson just two years before Moissan's discovery. Moissanite is regarded as a lower priced diamond alternative, with some optical properties exceeding those of diamond.

MOISSANITE CHARACTERISTICS

Moissanite is comparable to other popular gemstones including diamond, ruby, sapphire and emerald on key characteristics such as hardness, fire and brilliance. On the Brilliance Refractive Index, moissanite is more brilliant than any other gemstone, ranging from 2.65-2.69 on the scale. Its fire dispersion is over 4x greater than any other popular gemstone. On the MOHs hardness scale, moissanite comes in second only to a diamond, measuring at 9.25. In addition, moissanite's durability is excellent, meaning it will survive daily wear and tear.

MOISSANITE BRILLIANCE

The most significant optical property affecting a gemstone's brilliance, or sparkle, is the brilliance refractive index or BRI. The BRI of moissanite ranges from 2.65 to 2.69, meaning it displays more brilliance than diamond (with a BRI of 2.42) or any other popular gemstone.

MOISSANITE FIRE

A gemstone's fire is determined by a gemological property called dispersion. Dispersion refers to the prism effect that occurs when pure white light enters a non-opaque object, breaks into spectral (rainbow) colours, and reflects back to the order viewer. Moissanite's dispersion is 0.104, which exceeds that of any gemstone including diamond, ruby, sapphire and emerald.

MOISSANITE CLARITY

Moissanite grading uses a colour grading scale that is based upon the GIA diamond colour grading scale. There are three grades of moissanite available today: colourless (D-E-F range), near-colourless (G-H-I range) and with faint hues of colour (J-K range).

-

F / FLAWLESS
The diamond has no inclusions or blemishes of any sort under a 10x magnification when observed by an experienced grader. Please note: Truly flawless or internally flawless (F or IF on the GIA's grading scale) diamonds are extremely rare.

IF / INTERNALLY FLAWLESS
The diamond has no inclusions when examined by an experienced grader using 10x magnification, but will have some minor blemishes.

VVS1, VVS2 / VERY VERY SLIGHTLY INCLUDED
This diamond contains minuscule inclusions that are difficult even for an experienced grader to see under a 10x magnification.

VS1, VS2 / VERY VERY SLIGHTLY INCLUDED (MOISSANITE CLARITY)
The diamond (or moissanite) contains minuscule inclusions (small crystals, clouds or feathers) when observed with effort under a 10x magnification. The inclusions at this level are invisible to the naked eye.

SI1, SI2 / SLIGHTLY INCLUDED
The diamond contains inclusions (clouds, included crystals, knots, cavities and feathers) that are noticeable to an experienced grader under 10x magnification.

I1, I2, I3 / INCLUDED
The diamond contains inclusions (possibly large feathers or large included crystals) that are obvious under a 10x magnification and may affect transparency and brilliance.
