Moissanite's exceptional sparkle comes from measurable optical properties. Understand the science to sell with confidence.
Optical Comparison
| Property | Moissanite | Diamond | Meaning |
|---|---|---|---|
| Refractive Index | 2.65-2.69 | 2.42 | More light return = more brilliance |
| Dispersion | 0.104 | 0.044 | 2.4x more color flashes = more fire |
| Hardness | 9.25 | 10 | Nearly as scratch-resistant |
| Birefringent | Yes | No | Double refraction = extra sparkle |
The Fire Advantage
Moissanite's dispersion (0.104) is the highest of any jewelry gemstone. In dim lighting, it outsparkles diamond because it captures more ambient light. Customers notice this immediately.
Selling the Science
Educate customers: 'Moissanite has 2.4x the fire of diamond.' Show stones in different lighting. Provide comparison cards. Holycome provides sales training materials.
