NEO Moissanite
neo moissanite - what is it?
Simply put, NEO is another brand of moissanite created using the same chemical compound, silicon carbide.
It has very similar, if not the same, physical and optical attributes as other moissanite brands which are listed below.
Refractive Index: Higher than Diamond (The higher, the more sparkle.) Hardness: Moh's Scale of 9.25 to 9.5 (Diamond is the highest at 10) Like many other moissanite brands, it is a great diamond alternative option.
NEOs are available in multiple shapes and sizes (round, cushion, oval, pear, trillion, square, heart, radiant, emerald) and falls within both the "colorless" and "near-colorless" grading scale as well.
NEO Round Diamond Cut moissanite in 2 Color Grades
The Moissanite NEO Round Diamond Cut is faceted to tone down the natural high dispersion of moissanite and maximize symmetry. This cut is to reflect a closer "look and feel" to that of natural diamond cuts. It will generally have a higher crown like that of a diamond along with other significant diamond cut proportions.
It is available as an "EF" color or "colorless" grade as well as a "GH" or "near-colorless" grade.
In short, if you wish to have a NEO that looks closer to a round diamond cut then go with this stone.
