<p>[QUOTE=&quot;-jeffB, post: 2966013, member: 27832&quot;]Moissanite is less dense than diamond, but I think the difference is less than ten percent. That would make it difficult to measure -- if two stones are cut the same, and have the same weight, the moissanite would be only about 3% larger in each dimension.</p><p><br /></p><p>The funny thing is, moissanite is <i>superior</i> to diamond in appearance -- its refractive index and dispersion are both significantly higher, giving it more brilliance and fire -- and it&#039;s nearly as hard (durable). It&#039;s even fire-resistant. But it&#039;s not backed by tradition and De Beers, so none of that really matters. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie11" alt=":rolleyes:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
