Moissonite

Strange name -but  a gorgeous new gem on the market...

For as long as man can remember diamonds have been known as having the most sparkle of all gems -but now it has a rival in a new material named moissonite.

Moissonite in plain terms is Silicon Carbide thought to have been carried to Earth by a meteorite over 50,000 years ago it is found in VERY small quantities naturally in places such as  the Arizona desert.
