What is gemstone brilliance?

Your gemstone’s sparkle, or brilliance, is an optical property affected by its brilliance refractive index or BRI. When talking about brilliance in gemstones, we are referring to the light refracting in the interior of the stone, not the light reflecting off its surface. Brilliance is one of three terms used to describe the appearance of a gemstone as it reflects light. The other two are fire and luster. You can read more about a gemstone’s fire in this blog post.

What makes moissanite more brilliant than other gems?

The refractive index of gemstones is determined by directing light into the gemstone and then measuring the speed light reflects or refracts off its facets. The numerical result is calculated by comparing the speed of light in air vs. the speed of light in the gemstone. All minerals are measured on a scale and range from 1.2 to approximately 3. With a brilliance refractive index of 2.65 to 2.69, moissanite is the world’s most brilliant gemstone. This means the speed of light refracting in moissanite is 2.65 to 2.69 times slower than the speed of light in the air. Similarly, the refractive index of a diamond is 2.42, meaning the speed of light in the diamond is 2.42 times slower than the speed of light in air. Basically, moissanite is a gemstone that looks like a diamond but shines even brighter! Gemstone Refraction Index Moissanite 2.65 - 2.69 Diamond 2.41 - 2.42 Ruby 1.76 - 1.77 Sapphire 1.76 - 1.77 Emerald 1.56 - 1.60 When looking at your gemstone, its brilliance is simply the amount of light reflecting out of the crown of the stone to your eye. Each gemstone’s angle of refraction is unique, meaning every stone will refract light differently. This helps jewelers distinguish between gemstones such as rubies and garnets.

Does Moissanite Retain Its Brilliance?

mindbodygreen.com - How To Charge Your Crystals: 9 Methods & Tips, From Experts

Crystals tend to hold on to the energy they're exposed to—which isn't always a good thing. As modern mystic Imani Quinn explains to mbg, if you're using a crystal for protection energy, for example, that stone is absorbing the energy it's protecting you from. That's why it's important to get rid of any negative energy your crystal has accumulated as needed. "It needs to be refueled, just like our energy needs to be refueled by sleeping every night," Quinn adds. Part of charging your crystal is clearing its energetic slate—hence why some people refer to charging crystals as "clearing" them. From there, it's about filling your crystal back up, often with grounding energy that comes from places in nature: the moon, the soil, water, etc.
