Moissanite is also called Moissanite, its chemical name is: Synthetic Moissanite, also known as synthetic moissanite, synthetic moissanite (chemical composition SiC), dispersion 0.104 It is larger than diamond (0.044), has a refractive index of 2.65-2.69 (diamond 2.42), has the same diamond luster as diamond, and has stronger "fire", and is closer to diamond than any previous imitation.
Natural moissanite can be traced back to the late nineteenth century. The term moissanite comes from Dr. Henri Moissan, who discovered this mineral in an Arizona crater in 1904. Most moissanite on the market is synthetic. Natural moissanite is very rare and only appears in meteor craters. Its color is mostly dark green and black. This is manufactured by C3 Company in North Carolina, USA. It has patents for the production of synthetic silicon carbide in various countries around the world and is being promoted and applied around the world.
Only when it reaches DF color, EXCELLENT cut, and FL/IF clarity grade can it be called a moissanite.
Zircon [gào shí] (English name: zircon) is a silicate mineral with a chemical composition of Zr[SiO?] and a dispersion of 0.039 (high). The luster ranges from strong glass luster to diamond luster. No cleavage. Mohs hardness is 6~7.5, specific gravity, density: mostly 3.90~4.73 g/cm?. High type: 4.60～4.80 g/cm?. Medium size: 4.10～4.60 g/cm?. Low type: 3.90～4.10 g/cm?.
Moissanite is called the most dazzling gemstone in the world. Therefore, zircon cannot be brighter than moissanite, unless it is compared with ordinary moissanite and the best zircon. In comparison, the brightness of a gemstone is related to its cutting quality and mature technology. A well-cut gemstone can bring out the maximum brilliance of the gemstone. For example, if you compare it with an American moissanite diamond, I don’t think the zircon is any brighter.
