Why is moissanite called the 21st century diamond, because moissanite is not a diamond it is a mineral called silicon carbide [SiC] that was found in a crater that a meteorite had made in the Arizona desert in Canyon Diablo.

Nobel Prize winner Dr Henri Moissan first discovered in that crater in 1893 he experiment with the silicon carbide and found that it could be fashioned into a gem that had the hardness second only to a diamond.

In 1905 well known mineralogist George Kunz suggested the jewel be named moissanite in honor of Henri Moissan.

The availability of moissanite is very minute naturally so it has to be processed in a laboratory.

Charles and Colvard in Morrisville, North Carolina is the only company in the world today able to produce moissanite in a laboratory.

Moissanite has the beauty, brilliance, luster and fire that makes it stand out more than any other gem known to man.
