What is moissanite? Moissanite is a gemstone born from the stars. It was first discovered in 1893 by a French scientist named Henri Moissan. He initially thought that he had found diamonds, but later determined that the crystals were composed of silicon carbide. Natural moissanite is incredibly rare, so moissanite available today is laboratory-created. Durability Moissanite is extremely durable, tough, and second only to diamond in its resistance to scratching and abrasion. It scores a 9.25 on the Mohs Hardness scale & Diamonds are a 10.
