Moissanite and Demantoid Physical Properties

Moissanite and Demantoid Chemical Formula

While comparing Moissanite and Demantoid physical properties, the important data you should know is its chemical composition. Since chemical formula defines the molecular structure of the crystal, most of the physical properties like color, tenacity, solubility are governed by Moissanite and Demantoid chemical formula.
