Hi,this is my first post on the lovely PriceScope forum.It is more of a question really. I know that Lab diamonds are real,they are made of carbon the same as earth diamonds except they are made in a lab.Why is Moissanite refered to as synthetic when it was originally found in a meteor crater in Arizona by Henry Moisson over a hundred years ago.This naturally occuring stone was discovered to be made of silicon carbide.It has since been made in labs (just like lab diamonds are) & of the exact same silicon carbide because the naturally occuring rock is very rare. So my question is, why is Moissanite refered to as a "fake" stone & yet lab diamonds are real?
