I have a question.. is there a difference visually between a mossinite and a diamond? What about a lab created diamond and a natural one? Under a loop can anyone tell the difference between the three?

Here’s what I found out

Moissanite actually has more ‘fire’ than a diamond. Moissanite dispersion= 0.104. Diamond dispersion= 0.044
Moissanite is sparklier. Moissanite is 2.65 on the refraction index and diamonds are 2.42
Moissanites frequently have a little tinge of some sort meaning they’re never ‘pure’ white
Lab created diamonds look identical to diamonds because they are. Actual quote from BrilliantEarth “lab created diamonds are physically optically, and chemically indistinguishable from our natural diamonds” (note: ‘lab created’ and ‘simulated diamonds’ like CZ are NOT the same thing)
Under a loupe you’d be able to see the difference between moissanite and a diamond because moissanite isn’t meant to be a copy of a diamond, it just happens to be a colourless stone that many use in place of a diamond
You can’t tell the difference between a lab created diamond and a natural diamond

I’ll post some pictures of moissanite rings in natural light so you can compare for yourself as well :)
