Moissanite Diamond – From Where And How Did It Begin?
The Emergence Of Moissanite Jewelry
Nobel prize-winner French chemist Dr Henri Moissan discovered Moissanite Diamond 120 years ago. He was finding a crystalline chemical composition for providing an efficient electrical conductivity. During his research, Dr Henri came upon silicon carbide. Initially, he mistook moissanite with diamonds. Silicon carbide was an exceptionally rare mineral found in a meteorite crater in Arizona. The gemstone “Moissanite” was named after him to honor his brilliant work and contribution in the field. However, he spent the rest of his life trying to rejuvenate his extraordinary search but never fully succeeded.
During the 1990s, scientists from Research Triangle Park in North Carolina formed and patented a procedure for producing pure Silicon carbide (SiC). The evolution of various products, including semiconductors, LED lighting, and exceptionally hard drilling tools and abrasives, used the process of making Silicon Carbide in labs. One must remember that Moissanite Diamond is not identical to cubic zirconia. People generally blunder, calling any gemstone cubic zirconia, which is not diamond. While cubic zirconia is made of zirconium dioxide, whereas Moissanite Diamond, as mentioned, is made of silicon carbide.
The production of synthetic silicon carbide was done even before the discovery of Moissanite Diamond. After the mineral was initially discovered, it was determined that the amount of natural Moissanite present is nothing close to sufficient. Even small pieces of jewelry cannot be studded with natural Moissanite. Thus, scientists developed a process to make Moissanite in labs just like Lab grown diamonds. The process of growing Moissanite began with single crystals. It was then formed and developed using a difficult and time-consuming thermal method. Fast forward to today’s era, every moissanite jewelry, including rings, wedding bands, or earrings, is created in laboratories. Moissanite Diamond Jewelry is available at a very cost-effective price and in various ranges to spoil you with choices.
