"Moissanite Diamonds Vs Real Diamond.."

Moissanite Diamonds come from Moissanite which is a mineral that was first discovered in fragments of a meteorite at Diablo Canyon or Meteor Crater in Arizona.
It was named in honor of its discoverer, Nobel Prize winner Dr. Ferdinand Henri Moissan.

Seen here cooking up a storm ....he's actually manufacturing some diamonds!!

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 an alternative 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.
