It has been in the market since the 90s' as an alternative to diamond jewelery and has a royal following.
It is actually more refractive than a diamond, giving it more brilliance and fire than even a diamond.

Due to their similarity, it is virtually impossible to tell the difference between cut synthetic diamonds and real diamond....even the use of a conventional diamond tester doesn't work, as it relies on diamonds thermal properties to differentiate it from other gems.
Both stones are thermally conductive.

However, there is a special tester manufactured by Charles & Colvard's.
Patented Tester "Model 590" which reliably detects Silicon Carbide posing as a real diamond.
