minus-squareTonyTonyChopper@mander.xyzlinkfedilinkarrow-up10·2 days agoMoissanite has a marginally higher index of refraction than diamond so the “ideal” cutting geometry would be different. This looks like a misleading demonstration intended to market something. They appear nearly identical in normal conditions
minus-squareMentalEdge@sopuli.xyzlinkfedilinkarrow-up3·1 day agoThat’s what I was immediately thinking. Getting pretty colors out of a clear crystal is more about how it was cut, than what it’s made of. Unless it’s something like opal that produces lightshows through completely different optical effects.
