  2. My takeaway from the article is that they kept diamond prices artificially inflated by successively advertising diamonds as wedding rings, in market after market. Since Africa knows better, diamonds have run out of runway and the owner of DeBeers is selling.

  6. We have crystals that formed in other stars! Dissolve some meteorites almost completely, and some of the residue is SiC -these grains have carbon and silicon isotopes produced in red giant stars and supernova; from before our solar system formed. See Larry Nittler's (now at Arizona State University ) presentation:

  10. Just letting everyone know that I voted for #Moissanite in the first round of #MinCup23 mostly because I saw a lot of support for its rival that shall not be named and I'm a contrarian by nature.

  12. Not sure what to vote for in match 1 of #MinCup23? Here's a summary:

    #Moissanite
    SiC
    Name: after Henri Moissan, who discovered it in Canyon Diablo Meteorite
    Natural occurrence: as presolar grains in meteorites; in kimberlites (origin: Earth's mantle)
    Neat fact: changes color when heated
    #Kaolinite
    Al2(Si2O5)(OH)4
    Name: derived from Gaoling, China
    Natural occurrence: widespread weathering product of Al-Si minerals
    Neat fact: used in prehistoric times for pottery

  16. I used to have a set of dinnerware, but now it's just mullite. can take the heat -up to 2500°C.

  20. The first commercial LEDs were based on synthetic #Moissanite. 3H-SiC was used for yellow LEDs in and 6H-SiC was found to emit blue light. Unfortunately, SiC has an indirect bandgap, therefore nowadays, the more favorable GaN is used, which has a direct band gap and is about 100 times brighter. #MinCup23

  22. I'll start some early campaigning for #Moissanite, because synthetic #Moissanite (SiC) is also super-interesting from a materials science perspective 🤩 #MinCup23

    Natural #Moissanite has a huge color variation from green and blue to black depending on composition. It was first identified in 1904 by Henri Moissan in a sample from the Canyon Diablo meteorite found near Barringer Crater.
