Overall Assessment
An exceptionally fiery cushion-cut stone that displays the characteristic 'double refraction' and rainbow dispersion of high-quality moissanite.
Cut Quality
Excellent
Brilliance
Extremely High (Typical of moissanite's higher refractive index)
Fire
Exceptional (Displays heavy spectral rainbow 'disco-ball' effect)
Scintillation
High; rapid flashes of rainbow light across the facets
Proportions
High crown, deep pavilion, slightly elongated cushion ratio
Symmetry
Very Good
Polish
Excellent
Fluorescence
N/A (Generally not applicable to moissanites)
Inclusions
None visible at this magnification; likely internally flawless to the eye
Blemishes
None visible; surface appears smooth and well-polished
Origin
Lab-grown (Silicon Carbide silicon-sourced)
Treatment Detection
None detected; likely as-grown specimen
Estimated Value
$50 - $400 USD (Depending on brand and authenticity)
Certification Estimate
IGI or GRA (Standard for moissanites)
Investment Potential
Low; typically considered a fashion or jewelry stone rather than a value-retaining asset
Similar Diamonds
CVD Lab-Grown Diamonds (though with less dispersion)
Setting Suggestions
Platinum or White Gold solitaire to emphasize the colorless fire
Care & Maintenance
Clean with mild soap and warm water; ultrasonic safe but avoid harsh chemicals
Interesting Facts
Moissanite has a higher refractive index (2.65) and more fire than a natural diamond
