14K Gold Moissanite Pendant
Moissanite is a gemstone mineral composed of silicon carbide (SiC). Discovered by chemist Henri Moissan in 1893, Moissanite is a naturally occurring mineral that can also be synthesized in a laboratory. Moissanite is so similar in appearance to a diamond that it is difficult to distinguish with the naked eye. It has the closest physical properties to a Diamond. Moissanite is more brilliant than diamonds and has almost twice as much fire. In addition to its stunning appearance, Moissanite is known for its durability. With a rating of 9.25 on the Mohs scale, it is only slightly less hard than diamond (10), making it an excellent choice for jewelry. Some believe that moissanite can help reconnect people to their inner child. Moissanite's durability, similar to diamonds, is said to symbolize steadfastness and commitment. Moissanite is said to bring wisdom, clarity, wholeness and can help balance and harmonize the emotional body, reducing stress and promoting inner peace.
