Moissanite, chemically known as synthetic silicon carbide, is mainly cultivated and combined with carbon and silicon to form Moissanite, which is similar to diamond in appearance. It requires at least 10x magnification to observe its contents to distinguish and is the latest diamond imitation. Its hardness is second only to diamonds, and its sparkling fire color in different environments is higher than diamonds, making it a very beautiful diamond.
The difference between Mozambique diamonds and regular diamonds
Although Mozambique diamonds are classified as a type of diamond, they still have certain differences from diamonds that have been truly developed.
1. Mosang Diamond Fire Color is Better
Moissanite has higher dispersion and refractive index, so Moissanite diamonds have better fire color than diamonds.
2. Mo Sang Diamond has slightly lower hardness
The hardness of moissanite is 9.25, second only to diamonds, but it is still very suitable for wearing as jewelry.
3. Mozambique diamonds are lighter
The physical characteristics of the two are relatively close, so moissanite can also pass a diamond pen, but moissanite is lighter than diamond. It seems that diamonds of the same size should be weighed on a specialized scale, and the weight of moissanite should be relatively light. Therefore, when identifying Mozambique diamonds, the method of using the same specific gravity as ordinary diamonds can be used.
4. Mozambique Diamond Conductive
Another major difference between Mozambique diamonds and regular diamonds is that Mozambique diamonds are conductive, so they can be directly measured using a conductive pen.
5. Mozambique diamonds come in a variety of colors
Generally, diamonds are colorless, and diamonds with a yellow color are not valuable and are rarely used. In addition to transparent colors, Mozambique diamonds also come in shades of brown, yellow, gray, and green.
