What is Moissanite?
Moissanite was discovered inside a meteorite crater in Arizona in 1893 by prize-winning chemist, Dr. Henri Moissan. He initially thought he had found diamonds. The intriguing new gem was named Moissanite in his honor. These days Moissanite is created in a lab under strict standards which makes for uniform, beautiful stones.
