Well, here is a quick and dirty low down:

Asha:
-CZ, optical layer then coated in amorphous diamond
-Hardness of about 9 to 9.1 on Mohs scale
-Hearts and Arrows cut (round)
-Ideal cut
-F color, some cuts come in H color

Amora:
-Silicon carbide gemstone, new to the market
-Hardness of 9.25 on mohs scale (second hardest gemstone on the planet)
-Hearts and Arrows cut (round)
-Hearts and Arrows cushion, ideal cut princess, and first silicon carbide gem to come in step cuts
- F color (does not need any enhancement)

There is an FAQ thread on the Amora forum with answers to lots of questions you can check out too. =)

Thanks Ms. Cassie.

Wait, I have ASHAS in an oec & an emerald. ? .

I did read the Amora threads & FAQs but I wanted to know from you guys which you are liking better.

Thanks again !

MissCassie is talking about the Amora gem, which is not yet available for purchase. so none of us have them.

are you asking about the upcoming Amora gem? or are you asking about the current Amora enhanced Moissanites?

Oh, yup, that would be a very good thing to know! Amora Gema nd Amora treated Moissanite are two very different animals.

Oh, I didn't know that. So no one can tell me which they like better yet.

Never mind.

Sadly, none of us will be able to tell you that until very late this year or early next year!

Sonoma- are you sure you weren't referring to Amora enhanced moissanite that IS currently out?

Since the Amora enhanced is the one that is out, a comparison of how people like that v. ASHA would be good. Thanks.

I realized that after I posted this topic, there was probably a better section of this forum for this question. (sorry

Hey sonoma- I just wanted to make sure that you were talking about Amora moissanite which is currently out as opposed to the Amora gem which is not yet released.

I did a quick search using the search bar at the top of the page and here are some results I've found! Sorry I'm in a huge rush to get out the door. This topic has been posted about so much so I'm sure you will find many answers in these links:
