This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

Isn't it much softer too? Ie, it'll be all scratched to hell by day to day wear?

Nah Moissanite is still one of the hardest materials on earth at 9.5 on the mohs scale. Ain't shit gonna scratch that

Ah nice good to know.

Diamonds are really hard but there's other things that are pretty much up there. Unless you're planning on repeatedly punching sharpened graphite spikes with no gloves on wear isn't really a problem.

You might be thinking of cubic zirconium, which is another replacement for diamond. That one is softer, but my understanding is that it's still quite difficult to scratch
