So much more than a diamond alternative, moissanite is a gem with fascinating origins and really cool properties. What did you like about it? Let us know!
Shiny, durable and very affordable
I have question is the lab emerald actual beryl or is some other material like corundum?, as far as liking things the side by side comparison and scientific facts that help to easily differentiate the stone is great the other parts are good to I especially enjoy gems so it’s hard for me to not like the entire thing
If it says "lab emerald" then it should definitely be beryl, and will almost certainly be colored green by chromium, like the most prized emeralds. I can't speak for other companies, but anything else should not be labeled as such. If it were actually corundum or any other material than beryl, then it should be labeled as "emerald simulant"
@@emilypeters8888
Amen!
If it were corundum then it would be a sapphire technically
remember kids if your just getting into the trade don't depend on just a cheap diamond tester to identify a stone always do multiple different test this stone will register as a diamond on most cheap testers
There are cvd coated moissanites and they are getting popular so use a luope and not thermal testers
the green and the pink moissanite rings are amaaaaaaaazing
Absolutely beautiful Moissanites there, could pick a favourite faceted stone as they all had different characteristics.
Loved the Meteorite, my friend got me a Meteorite from their gift shop when he visited the crater a few years ago.
Very interesting. My take on Moissanite cut stones is, if your going t buy a manmade diamond get a Moissanite . You might as well go full "fake". Lots more bang for your buck, more sparkle and a bigger size for the same price.
As a gemstone collector I might add Moissanite to my collection only as an example of manmade material.
Man made have the best clear stones
but all nice ones like opal that have inclusions are great natural
@dcallan812 nice opinion bro lol
When I will buy a labmade diamond in the future it won't be a cut one, and the moissanite would not work as replacement since I want a natural coarse octagon diamond shape. I don't care for cut and polished diamonds, but the coarse crystal shapes really suit my preferences. I want lab moissanite for moissanite reasons and lab diamonds for diamond reasons. They two gems are not interchangeable for me.
I have a big sphere of jasper & 2 duck-size eggs that I thought were agates, but now I know they're jasper! Thank you.
This was a great episode. I never knew much about moissanite, and it is a really beautiful stone. And the light dispersion is the seller for me! And the hardness! It really is just an amazingly beautiful gemstone! And definitely one that's been overlooked for too long! Thanks for the education; I always learn so much from you guys! Thanks ❤️!
Glad you enjoyed it!
The Metorite, is my favorite, as the rarity, & oddity, combined, with the scientific, & mysterious!☄️
I'm going to say it. We all know it. The real gems are... the knowledgeable presenters !
Another perfectly presented video!
I love the yellow moisenite the carborundum looks like a beautiful geode. I wear moisenite all the time I’d love to get a yellow one!!
Great episode. I loved the hexagonal crystals in that gigantic chunk! As for moissanite vs. diamond, for me it's not about trying to simulate diamond -- it just has so much more fire and brilliance that I rather like to think of it as gemstone of its own. Almost like rutile, but hard and durable enough to wear. And the colors they're available in are stunning. A while back you also featured TurtlesHoard's gemonstones on the channel, and they had an incredible dichroic yellow/blue moissanite -- easily the prettiest version of it that I've ever seen. :)
I love the dispersion! So very shiny! 😍 🤩
The dark stone is beautiful. 😍
Great job you two.
Thanks!
I didn't know it came from space. That's cool.
Sapphire has been my favourite gem for many many years but I’ve got to say, I’m really loving Moisanette. Never been a fan of Diamond, sorry but true! Great video girls 🇦🇺❤️
Great thanks
My crow brain likes all the shinies, but the moissanite just makes my shiny loving heart extra happy!
I’ve only recently been introduced to Moissanite, having one Moissanite ring in my collection, but after watching this I’ve purchased another one to add to my collection, it’s an 8ct Ascher Cut Moissanite ring. Blows my mind that I can afford such a large size stone! Nothing shines like a diamond, but nothing also shines like a Moissanite 💎✨💎✨💎✨💎 I’ve also recently gotten my hands on a beautiful Carborundum specimen, it’s just stunning!
Can I ask where you got your 8ct ring from? :0
Awesome
How would one discern the difference between conch pearls and angel skin coral?
Those colored moissanite is a great alternative to colored diamonds and I know where to buy them for just a few dollars per carat.
my wedding/engagement ring (we just used one 😅) is moissanite. It was much cheaper than diamonds and my husband was thrilled that i didnt want a diamond, lol
this look like sandstar from japari park where can i buy one ? cute tiny gem that look like this in all mix of colors ?
I'd love to see a comparison clip comparing Peacock Ore vs. Carborundum. I have a massive block of one but, not entirely sure which one. Generally, both of those look like they're CVD coated like a Mystic Topaz or Mercury Mist type of product. Thanks in advance! (Casey G is awesome. Why? Because I've watched her amazingly fast evolution as a host.....and we're both from the same part of L.A.!)
i like the pink, its representing maturity and girly at the same time
Can you do one with moissanite, natural zircon and diamond in the future?
That asher cut ring is incredible. Is it for sale?
It is for sale! www.jtv.com/product/moissanite-10k-yellow-gold-ring-11-17ctw-dew-/MSJ598B?mcid=XSOyoutube0000373...we'll see what we can do!
On the same day, I got 2 moissanite eternity bands. The odds!

How quartz crystal can be sell
Synthetic Moissanite's Specific Gravity is only 0.30 less than Diamond's Specific Gravity. Most people can't tell the difference in weight. Diamond's SG vs Cubic Zirconia's SG is noticeable.
FINALLY YAAAAY
I got some different kinds of stones too. I have no clue what some is, others are diamonds.
Is it possible to get natural moissanite to facet into a gemstone?
My understanding is that natural moissanite is not only extremely rare but found in extremely tiny sizes. I imagine if a crystal was ever found large enough to facet we would be talking Sotheby’s Auction House prices.
@@berthaadamson1225 oh ok lol doesn't sound ideal for my budget
It is practically impossible. I've been told, in the past, that the sum total of natural moissanite discovered wouldn't make a pair of earrings. I've heard of some recent discoveries that would overrule that, but still we're talking so ridiculously rare it would probably be straight to the museum.
@@gems I see. That's a shame I know there's the lab grown ones but it would be cool to get one that's been in space!
Nice discussion of Moissanite. Would have been interesting to compare dispersion of a green one with a demantoid garnet I object less to manmade moissanite because it is a stone almost impossible to find in nature so you always know you are getting manmade. And considering what you have to pay for a diamond of equivalent clarity and size you should be buying from a reputable source that won’t try to substitute fraudulently.
Good suggestion! Maybe next time. I will say, having had both in unboxings in the past, it was much easier to get spectral colors out of the green moissanite than it was from the demantoid.
.how you two maintain those smooth & glowing skins...
.you both looks gorgeous...
"please don't call me perf"
I hae recently buyed 1 crt mosonite in just 6.6 dollars its super cheap alternative to diamond
I like this video, but the music is a bit distracting in the background...
And it's less cost, and people do not die.
Snow white ❤!!! Is prettier than the stones!!!! Shes so pretty im jealous!!!! Hands down the most beautiful girl at JTV!!!!!!!! She really does look like the snow white princess!!!!!!!!❤
space diamonds
Common diamond isn't rare
for free. i do love extraterrestrial Goddess's.
I didn't care for the tone of this video. It came across like a cheesy sales show. I prefer more focus on the science behind the material.
I dont care for your tone either ? Go and watch a full doc then, there is plenty of science here enough to satisfy our interest
This is a free service, entitled child crying over rocks
@@melaniabladeofmiquella Or constructive criticism of a product rather than personal attacks towards a person.
@kimlaplante8146 You aren't being constructive as you aren't helping them do anything but cater to your needs. Gems are popular for a reason, because they are worth money and people buy them. One of the presenters father is literally the CEO of the business. Its not national geographic.
no ear piercings. stay with the common wealth, royal love. Om
Ok, I normally don't click if I don't see Rebecca or Rob on the thumbnail but this was a really good vid and very interesting info for a well-educated geology student! Thank you for some genuinely new to me information ❤️
Every time I think I know it all cuz I have 200 credit hours under my belt... 😂
And I know the gemologists are going to jump down my geologist throat about this, but good lerd is that parcel of moissonites way more beautiful than any diamond! Debeers bs aside, most of the simulants are better than diamond. If I had 200 to blow on something other than textbooks 😭 I'd jump on that just to look at it in person. So beautiful 🥰
@SharpAssKnittingNeedles I agree. they're fine presenters but I really love rough specimens etc. It's hard to find any content on them that aren't spiritual BS.
@@aprilmeowmeow Yes to the generally spiritual BS 😂 They mention it on this channel but really they're all about the data because that's the only way to be a successful business in a rational world
@@aprilmeowmeow That's why I love Rebecca (still don't know if I'm spelling her name right 😬) cuz she's more geologist than gemologist and tends to get more excited about the rough than the polished, but when she goes crazy about a faceted thing or whatever it's for a good reason and so do I lol
