SK diamonds are not bad...

"Moissanite is a trade name given to silicon carbide (chemical formula SiC) for use in the gem business. As a gemstone, silicon carbide is similar to diamond in several important ways: it is transparent and extremely hard (9 1/4 on the Mohs scale, compared to 10 for diamond)"Originally posted by monoslayer:try the primitive way.. bite!
