High Purity Sic Crystal

Natural occurrence

Moissanite single crystal (≈1 mm in size)

Naturally occurring moissanite is found in only minute quantities in certain types of meteorite and in corundum deposits and kimberlite. Virtually all the silicon carbide sold in the world, including moissanite jewels, is synthetic. Natural moissanite was first found in 1893 as a small component of the Canyon Diablo meteorite in Arizona by Dr. Ferdinand Henri Moissan, after whom the material was named in 1905. Moissan's discovery of naturally occurring SiC was initially disputed because his sample may have been contaminated by silicon carbide saw blades that were already on the market at that time.

While rare on Earth, silicon carbide is remarkably common in space. It is a common form of stardust found around carbon-rich stars, and examples of this stardust have been found in pristine condition in primitive (unaltered) meteorites. The silicon carbide found in space and in meteorites is almost exclusively the beta-polymorph. Analysis of SiC grains found in the Murchison meteorite, a carbonaceous chondrite meteorite, has revealed anomalous isotopic ratios of carbon and silicon, indicating that these grains originated outside the solar system.

Production

Synthetic SiC crystals ~3 mm in diameter

Because natural moissanite is extremely scarce, most silicon carbide is synthetic. Silicon carbide is used as an abrasive, as well as a semiconductor and diamond simulant of gem quality. The simplest process to manufacture silicon carbide is to combine silica sand and carbon in an Acheson graphite electric resistance furnace at a high temperature, between 1,600 °C (2,910 °F) and 2,500 °C (4,530 °F). Fine SiO2 particles in plant material (e.g. rice husks) can be converted to SiC by heating in the excess carbon from the organic material. The silica fume, which is a byproduct of producing silicon metal and ferrosilicon alloys, can also be converted to SiC by heating with graphite at 1,500 °C (2,730 °F).

The material formed in the Acheson furnace varies in purity, according to its distance from the graphite resistor heat source. Colorless, pale yellow and green crystals have the highest purity and are found closest to the resistor. The color changes to blue and black at greater distance from the resistor, and these darker crystals are less pure. Nitrogen and aluminium are common impurities, and they affect the electrical conductivity of SiC.

Moissanite  Maintenance

The Moissanite ring should be removed when doing heavy work, so as to avoid the deformation of the ring and the Mosang stone.Maintenance Moissanite ring, professional cleaning: Moissanite stone is very lipophilic and easy to contaminate oil, so apply hand cream and remove Moissanite when washing dishes. It can't be worn while swimming, and the chloride bleach in the water will erode the Moissanitering. It is recommended to choose professional jewelry cleaners and instrument cleaning. Maintenance Moissanite Ring, Classified Storage: Classify and store different gems to prevent friction between then.

Brand story

Hmois

In 1893, The French Nobel Prize winner Dr. Henry Moissan found these sparkling pieces of Sic.

In 1905, To order Dr. Henri moissan, the newly found gem was named Moissanite

Our company in order to celebrate the Dr. Henry Moissan, So named our brand to Hmois
