Moissanite's occurrence in nature is extremely rare and has only been found in upper mantle rock and meteorites. Discoveries have shown moissanite occurs naturally as inclusions in diamonds, xenoliths, kimberlite, and lamproite. Moissanite rings are becoming an increasingly popular choice--for all the best reasons. It has more fire and brilliance than any other gemstone, meaning it has more sparkle. Because moissanite is double refractive, it is cut differently than diamonds to enhance that sparkle. Also, it is a very hard gemstone, second only to diamond.
