Natural Science Forum / Earth Science / Mineralogy / June 2004colourless moissanite
www.forevermoissanite.com A new challenging situation for the gemmologists: they will soon be summoned to distinguish synthetic colourless moissanite from diamond. A good test seems to burn the latter. J.J. Pawn shops were in a panic initially over Moissanite - though now there is a decent 'wand' that can help distinguish it from diamond after using the 'other' wand to first rule out CZ. Gemologists just look for the extreme double refraction. Carl 1 Lucky Texan > www.forevermoissanite.com > [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] > > A good test seems to burn the latter. J.J.

Diamond is denser, harder, and the refraction is drastically different. SignatureAl Balmer Balmer Consulting removebalmerconsultingthis@att.net |
