Moissanite (Potential)
Moissanite (Potential) · Princess Cut (Square Modified Brilliant)
Very Good Cut
Carat
Estimated 1.50 - 2.50 carats
Color
Estimated D-E (Colorless)
Clarity
Estimated VS1 - VS2
Shape
Princess Cut (Square Modified Brilliant)
Overall Assessment
The specimen exhibits high levels of dispersion (fire) and double refraction typical of Moissanite. While it mimics a Princess cut diamond, the 'doubling' of facet edges and intense spectral colors suggest a high-quality lab stimulant.
Cut Quality
Very Good
Brilliance
High
Fire
Extreme (Disco-ball effect) showing strong rainbows
Scintillation
Very High, fragmented light patterns
Proportions
High crown with visible double refraction facets suggesting non-diamond stimulant
Symmetry
Good
Polish
Good
Fluorescence
None / Not Applicable
Inclusions
Difficult to discern due to intense fire; likely small needles or pinpoints if any
Blemishes
No major surface chips visible; light scratching possible on Crown facets
Origin
Laboratory Grown (Synthetic Silicon Carbide)
Treatment Detection
None visible; material appears synthetic and high-quality
Estimated Value
Highly variable: $50-$200 if Moissanite; $10,000+ if Natural Diamond
Certification Estimate
GRA (if Moissanite) or IGI/GIA (if diamond); grades likely D/VS1
Investment Potential
Low (Stimulants do not retain significant resale value)
Similar Diamonds
VVS1 Lab-Grown Princess Cut Diamonds
Setting Suggestions
Classic 4-prong solitaire in Platinum or 14k White Gold to enhance colorless appearance
Care & Maintenance
Ultrasonic cleaner safe; regular cleaning to remove oils that diminish brilliance
Interesting Facts
The extreme double refraction and rainbow fire visible in the image are classic hallmarks of Moissanite rather than Diamond.
