Color, hardness - Diamonds are harder than Moissanite, and it's impossible to produce a pure white moissanite. The stones are slightly fluorescent, which means they appear slightly green or gray in normal light. It's much greater under natural light. In a jewelry store a moissanite dealer will always show the stones under a pink tinged light, as this tends to cancel out the fluorescence.
