Moissanite is a wonderful stone in  its own right.It's undetectable to most diamond testers, it has to be tested by  a  moissanite tester actually,to be sure you are getting  a  man  created moissanite  instead of  a  diamond.Many  people  love  moissanite  because  it  has  so  much color  and  suberb clarity in contrast  to a diamond  of  equal clarity .Its  like wow you got this stone  for this  price? but  remember

::Moissanite is a new product but its origins go back to 1893 when Dr. Henri Moissan, a French chemist and later a Nobel Prize winner, identified minute quantities of natural silicon carbide, known as lusenite, in the Diablo Canyon meteorite found in a remote area of Arizona. Recently, these elements were replicated in a synthetic material to produce a synthetic gemstone with similar properties to diamond. The gemstone is more brilliant than diamond, Refractive Index 2.65-2.69, has a higher lustre than diamond at 20.4%, and a hardness of 9.25 , diamond being 10. Relative Density: 3.21. Because moissanite replicates a diamond so well, it could be sold as a diamond to the unwary buyer
