Mossanite has become popular as a substitute of diamond, but many people don't know much about it.This article mainly explains five cognitive misconceptions about mossanite according to market feedback.
Moissante is also called moissante stone, moissante diamond, which is easy to make people misunderstand that moissante is one of the diamond, in fact it is not.Moissante is not a diamond, but it can be used as a substitute for diamond.Diamond is almost 100% carbon, moissante is silicon carbide,both of them have similar optical properties, but their chemical composition is completely different.
Cubic zirconia is also a diamond substitute, but moissante and cubic zirconia are two different things.Due to its low hardness, cubic zirconia is prone to scratches and will lose its luster after wearing it for a period of time.This is why people who wear cubic zirconia need to change them frequently.Moissante is second only to diamond in hardness and will last longer in effect.
Many people think that moissante is laboratory product, it is fake, no,that is wrong.The essence of moissante is silicon carbide, it is in nature, just because the natural production is not high, so the natural one is not enough to make a gem.So moissante, which is now used to make gemstones, all came out of the laboratory, but that doesn't make it a fake.
To define whether moissante is expensive, a reference substance is needed.At the same carat, color, clarity, cut grade, the prices of diamond and moissanite are naturally worlds apart,the former's price is about 30 times as much as the latter's.
It's also wrong.As mentioned above, the hardness of moissanite is second only to diamond, and the high quality moissanite is also excellent in clarity, usually reaching VS2 to VVS.Relative to colorless diamond, colorless moissanite is also very high in terms of cost performance,and it has a better fire than diamond.
