The hardness, fire, price, density, and inclusions of Mozambique diamonds and diamonds are different.
1. Hardness
Diamonds are the hardest gemstones in the world, with a Mohs hardness of 10, while Mozambique diamonds have a hardness of 9.25. Although the difference is small, Mozambique diamonds are slightly less hard than diamonds.
2. Fire
Diamonds attract many people to buy them because of their brilliant fire, but the fire of Mozambique diamonds is much higher than that of natural diamonds. The fire dispersion of Mozambique diamonds is 0.044, while that of natural diamonds is 0.104. Therefore, in the market, the ones with more brilliant fire are usually Mozambique diamonds.
3. Price
Although diamonds and Mozambique diamonds are very similar in various aspects, the price of Mozambique diamonds is only one-tenth of that of natural diamonds. Compared to natural diamonds, Mozambique diamonds are more economical.
4. Density
The density of diamonds is higher than that of Mozambique diamonds, so in a specific gravity liquid, diamonds will sink lower than Mozambique diamonds. This is also a method to distinguish between Mozambique diamonds and diamonds.
5. Inclusions
Natural Mozambique diamonds are very rare, and most of the Mozambique diamonds on the market are synthetic. Therefore, the inclusions in Mozambique diamonds are often arranged more regularly, while the inclusions in natural diamonds are more randomly arranged.
