Dallas, TX

What is moissanite then? It was in the year 1893 when Dr. Henri Moissan came across this mineral while analyzing the remnants of this great meteorite.

It is believed that tons of the meteorite mass was cut away and moved hastily across by traders who wasted no time in making money out of the abundance that landed from the heavens.Scientists...
