Moissanite

Naturally occurring moissanite is extremely rare, as it is not formed naturally in any quantity within the Earth, and thus is found only in tiny quantities in certain types of meteorite and as microscopic traces in corundum deposits and kimberlite. Moissanite wedding rings do not fade or gain colour with age, and they also often come with a lifetime warranty. In fact, Moissanite rings are becoming the symbols of smart, fashionable women everywhere. Moissanite is a mineral associated with the formational rocks such as kimberlitein which diamonds are found and is not considered to be a commercial mineral.

Moissanite has a slightly higher index of refraction (brilliance) and much greater dispersion (fire) than diamond. Moissanite is a mineral that was first discovered in fragments of a meteorite.
