It has a high refractive index, and the degree of dispersion (fire) of light is about 2.5 times that of diamond (0.044). In addition, the Mohs hardness is almost the same as diamond, and the price is also very attractive.

*The use of natural moissanite is prohibited because it is extremely rare to be produced on earth. Therefore, scientists tried to manufacture this beautiful material, and finally succeeded in developing moissanite that can be used as jewelry, and moissanite began to be distributed on the market around 1998. Moissanite's chemical composition is Silicon Carbide (SiC), which has excellent properties of hardness and durability similar to diamond.Moissanite's most amazing property is its dazzling brilliance. It boasts 2.5 times the value of diamond. Moissanite is not a diamond imitation stone but also an excellent gemstone.
