2. Cubic zirconia - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cubic_zirconia

   Cut: Cubic zirconia gemstones can be cut differently than diamonds: The facet edges can be rounded or "smooth". Color: only the rarest of diamonds are truly colorless, most having a tinge of yellow or brown to some extent. A cubic zirconia is often entirely colorless: equivalent to a perfect "D" on diamond's color grading scale. That said ...

3. Zirconium - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zirconium

   Zircon (ZrSiO 4) and cubic zirconia (ZrO 2) are cut into gemstones for use in jewelry. Zirconium dioxide is a component in some abrasives , such as grinding wheels and sandpaper . [ 49 ] Zircon is also used in dating of rocks from about the time of the Earth's formation through the measurement of its inherent radioisotopes , most often uranium ...

4. Ceria-zirconia - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ceria-zirconia

   The crystal structure adopted by ceria-zirconia depends on the Zr/Ce ratio and temperature. At very low Zr concentrations, ceria-zirconia exhibits the cubic fluorite structure, which is common to both pure ceria and cubic zirconia (pure zirconia normally only adopts a cubic structure at high temperatures). However, at higher Zr contents, other ...

   A pale blue zircon gemstone weighing 3.36 carats This bracelet has zircon gemstones. The metal is zinc alloy base with silver coating. The metal is zinc alloy base with silver coating. Transparent zircon is a well-known form of semi-precious gemstone , favored for its high specific gravity (between 4.2 and 4.86) and adamantine luster .

6. Yttria-stabilized zirconia - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yttria-stabilized_zirconia

   Yttria-stabilized zirconia (YSZ) crystal structure. Yttria-stabilized zirconia (YSZ) is a ceramic in which the cubic crystal structure of zirconium dioxide is made stable at room temperature by an addition of yttrium oxide. These oxides are commonly called "zirconia" (Zr O 2) and "yttria" (Y 2 O 3), hence the name.

7. Zirconium dioxide - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zirconium_dioxide

   Visually discerning a good quality cubic zirconia gem from a diamond is difficult, and most jewellers will have a thermal conductivity tester to identify cubic zirconia by its low thermal conductivity (diamond is a very good thermal conductor). This state of zirconia is commonly called cubic zirconia, CZ, or zircon by jewellers, but the last ...
