Seen here cooking up a storm ....he's actually manufacturing some diamonds!!
Synthetic Moisanite is a man made mineral which simulates diamonds very well. It is grown or created in a laboratory & is also known as silicon carbide. Man made diamonds are molecularly identical to the ones extracted from the Earth but take a shorter time to form.....3 days for a 1 carat diamond. Real diamonds took millions of years to form. It has been in the market since the 90s' as alternatives to diamond jewelery and has a royal following. Moissanite diamonds are actually more refractive than natural diamonds, giving them more brilliance and fire than even the genuine diamonds.
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.
