Moissanite, a unique gem derived from silicon carbide, is fast capturing the hearts of consumers with its extraordinary hardness and excellent refractive index. Compared with traditional diamonds, moissanite not only has the outstanding quality of close to diamonds, but the price is only about one-tenth of the latter, which is called "the star of the diamond world."

Let's look at the difference between moissanite and diamond

1. Price: Diamond and moissanite have almost the same physical properties, but the price of moissanite is only 1/10 of diamond.

2. Refractive index: The refractive index of Moissanite is 2.4 times that of diamond, and Moissanite shows colorful fire color and is permanent.

3. Hardness: Moissanite is the second hardest gemstone in the world with a Mohs hardness of 9.25, while diamond is the hardest in the world with a Mohs hardness of 10.

4. Specific gravity: The specific gravity of diamond is 3.52, while the specific gravity of moissanite is 3.20.

5. Refraction: Due to the different crystal structure, the refraction of the diamond is single refraction, while the Mosan diamond is double refraction. So the fire color of moissanite is even brighter than diamond.

6. Gloss: the gloss and brightness of Mosan will never fade, black spots or discoloration due to long time, and the bright light of Mosan can be permanently preserved and unchanged. Diamonds will fade due to stains after being worn for a long time.

These excellent properties not only make Moissanite shine in jewelry, but also make it play an important role in the industrial field. As an ideal polishing and cutting material, moissanite is widely used in military, aerospace and other high-tech industries, showing extraordinary potential.

In the jewelry market, Moissanite has also become the sought after object of more and more consumers with its ultra-high cost performance advantage. A moissanite of the same quality, the price is only about one-tenth of the diamond, which undoubtedly greatly reduces the consumer's purchase threshold, and Moissanite has gradually become the best substitute for diamonds.
