Moissanite, a star in Gem Grown USA’s Eco-Friendly Collection, isn’t just beautiful—it’s a marvel of science. Discovered in a meteorite by Henri Moissan in 1893, this silicon carbide gem is now lab-created for sustainability. Here’s what makes it special:
Brilliance That Rivals Diamonds
Moissanite’s refractive index (2.65-2.69) exceeds diamonds (2.42), giving it more fire and sparkle. Perfect for rings, earrings, and pendants, it outshines with less environmental cost.
Eco-Friendly Innovation
Unlike mined gems, lab-grown Moissanite requires minimal water and energy. It’s a guilt-free choice that aligns with our planet-first mission at Gem Grown USA.
Durability for Daily Wear
With a hardness of 9.25 on the Mohs scale (just below diamonds at 10), Moissanite resists scratches, making it ideal for everyday jewelry.
