In 1893, Nobel Prize-winning French scientist Dr. Henri Moissan believed he had discovered a diamond from outer space when he discovered this brilliant, diamond-like mineral in a crater deposit. Because this mineral possessed 2.5 times more fire than a typical diamond, a greater brilliance than a diamond, and a greater surface light reflectance, it was initially thought to be a type of diamond. Scientific research in the 1920s revealed that Dr. Moissan's discovery was not actually a diamond from outer space, but a different mineral of the same ancestry. It was named Moissanite in honor of Dr. Henri Moissan.
