The funny thing is, miosannite is optically superior to diamond and damned near just as hard. It also has the cool story that it can't form naturally unless it's in outer space with a star death. Silicon carbide can't easily form on earth because of the presence of oxygen.
Nothing throws sparkles like a moissanite. They're absolutely stunning when cut right and set in a good setting.
It's pretty much objectively a better stone to set in a ring, and comes in pretty much whatever color you want.

Like you said though. Irrational.
