Carborundum Geological Description:

Silicon Carbide is a compound of silicon and carbon formed by either the furnace method, chemical vapor disposition, or thermal decomposition of a polymer. Natural Silicon Carbide is extremely rare and known as the mineral Moissanite.

Silicon Carbide has many industrial uses including carborundum™, and synthetic Moissanite is created for the jewelry trade, very similar and often confused as Diamond. Pure Silicon Carbide is colorless. The brown to black color of industrial products results from iron impurities.

Rainbow-like carborundum™ crystals make interesting specimens and are caused by a passivation layer of silicon dioxide that forms on the surface.
