A.A.A. Moissanite (for Russian Brilliants)
What is Moissanite?
Located within an ancient meteorite crater in Diablo Canyon, Arizona, nobel-prize winning scientist, Dr. Henri Moissan discovered minute quantities of a new mineral, natural silicon carbide. Nearly a century later, Cree, Inc, a market-leading innovator and manufacturer of power-driven semiconductors, developed a process for generating large-sized crystals of Moissanite. A master diamond cutter observed samples of the crystals in 1995, suggesting to the founders of Charles & Colvard that, if cut properly, the material could be faceted into a new and attractive jewel. That same year, Cree, Inc. and Charles & Colvard formed a partnership and started developing larger Moissanite stones using Cree’s colorless development program.
Moissanite resembles a diamond but with a few noticeable flaws. The stone has a faint yellow hue that becomes more prominent as the size increases. Upon close examination, Moissanite is usually identifiable because of its silicon carbide content. In the manufacturing process, Moissanite becomes doubly refractive, producing a “drunken vision,” blurred effect, therefore minimizing the illusion of Moissanite being a natural diamond. Moissanite has a dispersive power nearly 2.5 times greater than that of a diamond and displays much more fire and brilliance when exposed to sunlight. Moissanite is less expensive than diamond due to the difficulty in growing the crystals and is causing a lot of excitement in jewelry markets.
