2. Moissanite - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moissanite

   A moissanite engagement ring Moissanite: emerald cut. Moissanite was introduced to the jewelry market as a diamond alternative in 1998 after Charles & Colvard (formerly known as C3 Inc.) received patents to create and market lab-grown silicon carbide gemstones, becoming the first firm to do so. By 2018 all patents on the original process world ...

3. Silicon carbide - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Silicon_carbide

   Moissanite is similar to diamond in several important respects: it is transparent and hard (9–9.5 on the Mohs scale, compared to 10 for diamond), with a refractive index between 2.65 and 2.69 (compared to 2.42 for diamond). Moissanite is somewhat harder than common cubic zirconia. Unlike diamond, moissanite can be strongly birefringent.

4. Material properties of diamond - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Material_properties_of_diamond

   Diamond is the allotrope of carbon in which the carbon atoms are arranged in the specific type of cubic lattice called diamond cubic.It is a crystal that is transparent to opaque and which is generally isotropic (no or very weak birefringence).

5. Gemstone - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gemstone

   Moissanite actually has a higher refractive index than diamond, and when presented beside an equivalently sized and cut diamond will show more "fire". Cultured, synthetic, or "lab-created" gemstones are not imitations: The bulk mineral and trace coloring elements are the same in both.

6. Cubic zirconia - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cubic_zirconia

   One face of an uncut octahedral diamond, showing trigons (of positive and negative relief) formed by natural chemical etching. Hardness: cubic zirconia has a rating of approximately 8 on Mohs hardness scale vs. a rating of 10 for diamond. [1] This may cause dull and rounded edges in CZ facets; the edges of diamond facets are much sharper by ...
