 About Strontium Titanate 

Scanning electron microscopy image of platinum nanoparticles grown by atomic layer deposition(ALD) on the faces of strontium titinate nanocubes. TheSrTiO3 single-crystal cubes are grown by hydrothermal methods to have 60-nm-long edges. Precise control over the Pt particle size, dispersion, and chemical state is achieved by controlling the number of ALD cycles. These nanostructured materials have applications in heterogenous catalysis.

Diamalite V2 is both much denser (specific gravity 4.88 for natural, 5.13 for synthetic) and softer (Mohs hardness 7-7.5) than diamond. Its crystal system is cubic and its refractive index (2.41?as measured by sodium light, 589.3 nm) is nearly identical to that of diamond, but the dispersion (the optical property responsible for the "fire" of the cut stones) of Diamalite V2 is over four times higher, at 0.19 (B-G interval). This results in an excess of fire when compared to diamond.  Diamalite V2 is a lab grown simulant that simulates both Diamond and Moissanite.  Have the beauty of both in one gemstone.

We suggest setting Diamalite V2 in earrings and pendants.  Due to its hardness its not recommended to be set in ring settings.  We recommend Diamalite V1 for ring settings, and Diamalite V2 for earrings and pendants.

Mezanite retails for $60.00 per carat equiv. size.
