How Black Moissanite Is Made
Unlike some simulants like cubic zirconia, black moissanite is not man-made. rather, it's grown in a lab or found naturally. While white/ colorless moissanite can occur without treatment, usually CVD (chemical vapor) must be applied to achieve the desired color in colored moissanite.
