Mozanite is one of the diamond imitations that can fool many jewelers and users alike. It is a complex stone which is strikingly similar to a diamond, but can be identified with highly sensitive tools.
Mozanite stone is a transparent crystalline form of quartz also known as rhinestone.
To check whether the stone is an imitation of diamond, check these properties... If the stone:
- can be scratched by a diamond
- is warm to touch
- is opaque in X-rays and
- contains air bubbles when studied under magnification
then one can safely conclude that he / she has been fooled.
