moissanite (mineral, inorganic material, ... Materials (hierarchy name)) |
|
Note: Moissanite is naturally occurring silicon carbide and its various crystalline polymorphs. It has the chemical formula SiC and is a rare mineral, discovered by the French chemist Henri Moissan in 1893. Silicon carbide is useful for commercial and industrial applications due to its hardness, optical properties and thermal conductivity. In jewelry it is used as a imitation diamond.

| Dutch ..... Een in de natuur voorkomende siliciumcarbide (SiC). Het is een zeldzaam mineraal, dat in 1893 is ontdekt door de Franse chemicus Henri Moissan. Siliciumcarbide wordt in commerciële en industriële toepassingen gebruikt om de hardheid, optische en thermische eigenschappen. In juwelen wordt het als imitatiediamant gebruikt. |
