Moissanite vs. Diamonds

Moissanite is a naturally occurring mineral called silicon carbide, which is very rare and can’t be found in nature large enough to be cut into even a one-carat gemstone. So all of moissanite used in fine jewelry is created in a lab,not earth mine. Unlike moissanite, diamond is mineral from the earth. Despite their differing origins, these two gems have plenty in common. The biggest advantage of moissanite over diamonds is the price, for moissanite is considerably cheaper than a diamond. A moissanite gem is approximately one-tenth the cost of a mined diamond of equal size and quality. If you want to get a larger carat weight, for moissanite, it's easy to get a piece. Unlike mineral diamond, it's very very expensive to find a big carat stone. Now a white 1 ct moissanite sell at less than $50 when you buy from China factory direct.
