🌌 What Is Moissanite?
Moissanite is a rare gemstone originally discovered in a meteorite crater by French chemist Henri Moissan in 1893. Composed of silicon carbide (SiC), it’s now exclusively lab-grown and admired for its exceptional brilliance, durability, and ethical sourcing.
Unlike mined diamonds, moissanite offers a conflict-free alternative with a fiery sparkle that often surpasses traditional stones.
