What is a moissanite diamond?

Moissanite, also known as moissanite, magic star diamond, moissanite, its chemical name is synthetic silicon carbide, its appearance is similar to diamond, and it is often used as a substitute for diamond. It is also a gemstone whose physical properties are closest to those of natural diamonds.

Only moissanite diamonds that can reach D color, Belgian cut, and FL/IF clarity grade can be called magic star diamonds.

Moissanite was originally developed and researched by European and American overseas companies with an investment of 45 million US dollars. It was launched as a patented product in June 1998. Its patent protection has expired in 2016. Moissanite is produced in countries around the world. . Its chemical composition is SiC, nearly colorless, refractive index 2.56-2.69, dispersion 0.104, birefringence 0.043, hardness 9.25, and density 3.22 g/cm3.

Magic diamond is Moissanite, but the name is different. The name comes from Dr. Henri Mausant.

The market says that magic star diamonds usually refer to Belgian magic star diamonds. The Belgian magic star diamonds follow the traditional diamond processing process and adopt the most advanced Belgian cutting.

Belgian Magic Star diamonds are heavier and more valuable than other imported Moissanite diamonds.
