| Moissanite, created by
Charles & Colvard is a stunning new jewel that has fire,
brilliance, luster and incredible hardness unlike any jewel you've
ever seen.
Moissanite was originally born from a star. However, naturally
occurring crystals are too small for use in jewelry.
Using an uncommon combination of art and science, moissanite is
now available on earth!

Born From a Meteor
|
This stunning jewel has a brilliant past.
Fifty thousand years ago a meteorite crashed into the
Arizona desert creating what is now known as a "Meteor
Crater."
Fragments of this meteorite were scattered
across the desert. Hidden in these fragments was a brilliant secret waiting to
be discovered.

| In 1893, Nobel-Prize winning scientist Henri
Moissan began studying fragments of this meteorite from nearby
Diablo Canyon. In these fragments Dr. Moissan discovered
minute quantities of a shimmering new mineral, with fire and
brilliance never before seen on earth.
After extensive research, Dr. Moissan concluded that this
mineral was made of silicon carbide. In 1905, this mineral was
named moissanite, in his honor.
Despite this amazing discovery, since naturally occurring
quantities of moissanite are so minute, it would be another
century before this stunning mineral would emerge as the
brilliant jewel it is today. |
