Moissanite Diamond Tester Simulator

Understand the electrical conductivity signature of lab-grown moissanite.

Moissanite Diamond Tester Simulator

Understand the electrical conductivity signature that separates lab-grown moissanite from natural diamonds.

Conductivity Probe Test

Simulate placing the fine conductive needle of a tester onto different stones. Because moissanite acts as a semiconductor, electricity flows through it, triggering the moissanite alert.

What is Moissanite?

Silicon carbide synthetically grown in a lab. It sparkles more than a diamond (higher refractive index) but is slightly less hard and highly resilient to heat.

The Thermal Trick

Because Moissanite distributes heat exactly like a real diamond, basic single-function thermal conductivity testers cannot tell them apart.

The Electrical Need

A dual-tester is mandatory. Moissanite is electrically conductive. Diamonds are not. Only a tester measuring electrical resistance can reliably flag Moissanite.

About Moissanite Diamond Tester Simulator

Moissanite is a lab-grown silicon carbide simulant that mimics a diamond's thermal properties perfectly, causing basic pen testers to beep 'Diamond'. However, moissanite is a semiconductor, while natural diamonds are electrical insulators. This simulator visually demonstrates how devices measure this electrical resistance, providing a clear understanding of the 'Moissanite Alert' function on modern gemological equipment.
