Moissanite is a rare mineral exhibiting various crystalline polymorphs, also known by the term silicon carbide (SiC). These materials are synthesized in laboratories and termed as silicon carbide. It is a colorless gemstone, similar to the crystal structure of diamonds, and whose original deposits are found in meteorites. The mineral is widely used in various pieces of luxury jewelry, having a higher refractive index than diamonds, while possessing a colorless and aesthetic property, equal to diamonds. Due to this, light bounces inside the stone more than diamonds which creates an aesthetic display of fire and sparkle with hardness greater than other conventional gemstones. In addition, due to its durability, moissanite is preferred as the perfect and most affordable choice jewelry investments. When polished and cut, moissanite is used for making jewelry and other ornaments, as well as for decoration purposes. Certain rocks or organic materials that are not considered as minerals are also consumed in making jewelry products and are hence considered to moissanite as well. While most of the gemstones are hard in nature, certain soft minerals are used in making jewelry owing to their luster and other properties exhibiting aesthetic value.
