Moissanite anvil

Moissanite is made by crystallizing silicon carbide (SiC) at high temperatures of about 2000℃.
Its refractive index is high at 2.65-2.69 and has 2.4 times the spectral reflectance and 1.1 times the brilliance compared with those of natural diamonds. With these benefits, moissanite has been used not only for electrical components but also loved as gems by cutting and polishing it.

Manufacturer introduction

By taking advantage of the fact that moissanite is the second hardest material on Earth, we have been developing an anvil (pressure terminal) for high pressure experiments collaboratively with research institutes in Japan. As a Japanese distributor of high-pressure-use anvils, we purchase moissanite anvils from Socorro & Co., a U.S. company, and offer them to Japanese research institutes and universities.
