Description

Moissanite is a rare, naturally occurring mineral also known as silicon carbide, which was first discovered by the Nobel Prize-winning chemist
Dr. Henri Moissan at the site of a massive meteorite strike in Arizona. This intriguing new stone was named Moissanite in his honor.
Until the late 90’s that scientists – working in a research laboratory located in Research Triangle Park, North Carolina – developed the innovative
thermal growing process that creates silicon carbide crystals. These crystals are fashioned into Moissanite gemstones that rival any natural
gemstone for fire and brilliance. These man-made gems are more durable than diamond, sapphire, or emerald.
