1.  Is Moissanite resistant to scratching?

Yes.  Second in hardness only to diamond, Moissanite is durable and tough.  Moissanite is harder than a steel file and extremely resistant to scratching and abrasion.

Toughness (Defined as Resistance to Breakage)

1.  Can Moissanite break easily?

No.  Based on measurable scientific studies in high pressure research, Moissanite is extremely resistant to breaking and chipping.  In fact, Moissanite is one of the toughest jewels known to man and can stand the test of time.

2.  Is Moissanite heat tolerant?

Yes.  Moissanite has heat resistance properties superior to many other jewels.  Tests prove that at 1100°C, higher than the equivalent intensity of a house fire, Moissanite remains intact and as brilliant as the day it was created.  High heat tolerance makes Moissanite less likely to experience heat damage during jewelry repair.
