These stones are truly the best diamond stimulates around! You are bidding on a 4 carat round brilliant stone. This stone is 10.4 millimeters in diameter, truly beautiful sparkles with extereme fire and luster. These stones are very hard, they are as hard as a real diamond and harder than natural moissanite stones. These stones are a composite of (graphite = moissanite powder) white topaz powder fused together and grown in a Russian laboratory.
Well, that is a new one on me, and probably quite a shock to the GIA that in 1994 they graded this "moissanite blend" as an F, VS1 diamond.
I think someone should bring it to their attention....cough cough.
Who's going to drop a note to the GIA?
My two favorite sentences from this "genius" were:
"These stones are very hard, they are as hard as a real diamond and harder than natural moissanite stones. These stones are a composite of (graphite = moissanite powder) white topaz powder fused together and grown in a Russian laboratory."
I didn't know that graphite equaled moissanite powder. And how does fusing topaz powder to moissanite (or is it graphite?) make it as hard as a diamond? I'm going to have to make some serious changes to GT Pro once I verify these amazing claims.
My bet is they're nothing more than CZ and he's making a killing.
