Moissanite: One of the most beautiful gems in the world
Moissanite is a gemstone born from the stars.
It was first discovered in 1893 by a French scientist named Henri Moissan,
who later won the Nobel Prize in Chemistry. He discovered microscopic particles of the gem
that would eventually bear
his name in Arizona, in a crater created by a meteorite that fell to Earth.
***Mohs scale hardness is 9.5
Moissanite is an exquisitely beautiful gemstone, and can be a good choice for an engagement ring.
First, it's nearly as hard as diamond and will last a lifetime.
Second, it has much more fire and brilliance than a diamond,
which makes it an eye-catching stone that will light up a room.
