The harder a material, the more difficult it is to scratch. And, on the Mohs Scale of Hardness, moissanite is rated as a 9.25. This is a great score, and higher than any gemstone used in jewelry besides diamonds! Diamonds, which are the hardest known mineral, score a 10.

How do you measure moissanite?
Moissanite is not measured in carats because it weighs approximately 10 percent less than diamond. For example, a 6.5mm round diamond would weigh 1.0ct, while a 6.5mm round moissanite would weigh 0.88ct. The two stones would be the same size – 6.5mm in diameter.
Can moissanite be cleaned like a diamond?
If your jewelry is made of sturdy metals and durable gemstones such as moissanite or diamonds, you have the option of ultrasonic cleaning. Ultrasonic cleaning uses ultrasound (or sound waves) and a cleaning solvent to loosen dirt particles that accumulate on the surface of jewelry.
Can moissanite be resold?
Moissanite retail value is also much higher than its resale value but the news here is somewhat better, moissanite can be resold for 50%-60% of its purchase cost.Dec 4, 2019
