WHAT IS MOISSANITE?
Moissanite is a gemstone with incredible brilliance and a rainbow of sparkles,  this gem has gemological properties very close to diamond.
Originally Moissanite has been discovered in a meteor crater, in Arizona by Dr. Ferdinand Henri Moissan over 100 years ago, over time  Moissan discovery was successfully synthesized to produce what is now one of the world’s most scintillating gemstones. 
Natural moissanite is incredibly rare, so moissanite available today is lab grown.
