Moissanite and Diamond are both clear and sparkly, they are practically indistinguishable with the naked eye. In fact, even under a microscope, they are rarely different. Moissanite can rival any natural gemstone for fire and brilliance. These gems are even more durable than diamond, sapphire, or emerald.
