Moissanite is the name given to a naturally occurring and laboratory-grown mineral made up of silicon carbide. Its occurrence in nature is extremely rare and has only been found in upper mantle rock and meteorites. Discoveries have shown moissanite occurs naturally as inclusions in diamonds, xenoliths, kimberlite, and lamproite. Discovered over 120 years ago, moissanite gems have come so far from being just silicon carbide. Today—because of its rarity—moissanite is lab grown with minimal environmental impact. The brightness of Moissanite is 2.5 times that of diamonds, and under the illumination of light, Moissanite shines more brightly than diamonds. However, the price of Moissanite is only one tenth of that of diamonds. All items ship from my home in Florida.
