What are diamonds, moissanites, and cubic zirconias?

    Diamond = a precious stone consisting of a clear and colorless crystalline form of pure carbon, the hardest naturally occurring substance
      Moissanite = is the name given to a naturally occurring and laboratory-grown mineral made up of silicon carbide.  Its occurrence in nature is extremely rare and has only been found in upper mantle rock and meteorites. 
        Cubic Zirconia =  a colorless form of zirconia that is very similar to diamond in refractivity and appearance
        • Zirconia = a white solid used as a synthetic substitute for diamonds.
