Synthetic Gem Crystal Moissanite Colored Sapphire Vivid Green SIC
Raw Materials Jewelry Custom
Moissanite can be divided into two types: naturally occurring and
synthetic. Whether natural or artificial, the formation of
moissanite involves extreme conditions such as high temperature and
pressure, which promote the formation and growth of silicon carbide
crystals.
Features
The physicochemical properties of moissanite are more significant.
In terms of physical properties, moissanite has an extremely high
hardness, reaching 9.25 on the Mohs scale, second only to diamond,
ensuring durability and resistance to wear. Its refractive index
range of 2.65-2.69 is much higher than that of diamond at 2.417,
allowing moissanite to show even more brilliant fire. In addition,
moissanite has a dispersion value of up to 0.104, which is more
than twice that of diamond (0.044), a characteristic that allows
moissanite to exhibit richer and more brilliant color variations in
light. At the same time, moissanite has a density of 3.20-3.24
g/cm³, which is slightly lower than that of diamond, but this
difference does not affect its excellent quality as a gemstone. In
terms of chemical properties, moissanite, as a silicon carbide
crystal, has a stable chemical structure, has good corrosion
resistance to most acids, alkalis and other chemicals, and is not
easy to undergo chemical changes.

Applications
Moissanite has shown great potential and application value due to
its excellent physical and chemical properties. Moissanite is
widely used to make a variety of exquisite jewelry such as
engagement rings, necklaces, earrings, etc. Its sparkling fire and
bright color make moissanite jewelry more dazzling in the light,
making it an ideal choice for many people who pursue fashion and
quality. In addition to jewelry making, moissanite also has certain
value for scientific research and industrial applications. As a
form of silicon carbide, moissanite exhibits excellent properties
under extreme conditions such as high temperature and high
pressure, and can be used to make high-performance ceramic
materials, cutting tools, etc. The expansion of these applications
further demonstrates the importance of moissanite in technology and
industry.
