III. About your Presidium Moissanite Tester (PMT II)
The Presidium Moissanite Tester has been developed
to identify moissanite using the combined principles of
electrical conductivity. Moissanite, also known as silicon
carbide (SiC), is similar to diamond in many aspects,
except its electrical conductivity. Thus, its capacity to
conduct electricity allows segregation between Diamond
and Moissanite.
The Presidium Moissanite Tester is recommended to be
used after the indication of a positive test result from the
use of Presidium Thermal conductivity testers.
The Presidium Moissanite Tester has been subjected to
thorough and extensive laboratory tests, and will
generally give a clear and reliable reading of the
gemstone being tested under proper use. However, you
are advised to conduct further supporting tests.
This tester is not meant to distinguish between colored
gemstones or any other types of synthetic Diamonds.
