Where does Moissanite come from? - Ringshing.com
Moissanite is a naturally occurring mineral that was first discovered in 1893 by a French scientist named Henri Moissan. The mineral was found in a meteorite crater in Arizona, United States. However, the natural occurrence of Moissanite is extremely rare, and most Moissanite used in jewelry today is lab-created. Lab-created Moissanite is made from silicon carbide and is created using a process called chemical vapor deposition (CVD) or through a process called High-pressure High-temperature (HPHT). The lab created Moissanite is widely available and used for making jewelry.
