Diamond Simulants

Cubic Zirconia

Cubic Zirconia (CZ) is one of the most frequently bumped into diamond simulant. All marketable CZ is formed synthetically in laboratories however, it is also found in nature as a natural resource. In both its synthetic and innate forms, CZ is colorless but color can be induced in it which enables the fake market to sell them at highest prices claiming it to be pink diamonds, etc. A thermal pen tester which is a potential testing equipment that can quickly and easily detect CZ.

Synthetic Moissanite

     Synthetic moissanite is a newly created diamond simulant that has leaped up to join the long list of products that imitate or look similar when compared to diamonds. Although moissanite is marketed currently as a novel unique, synthetic gemstone, some of its properties are somewhat similar to those when compared with other diamonds hence it lead experts in confusion while trading. Synthetic moissanite is a diamond simulant similar to the Cubic Zirconia however; it can be cleared of its stake mainly because of its usage as a diamond with the use of thermal pen testers as it has analogous thermal properties to diamonds. However, it can also be identified without any problems by other testing methods.
