Diamond gems are lighter than a cubic zirconia gem of the same volume. The density of diamond is 5.3 g/cm3, while the density of cubic zirconia ranges from 5.6-6.0 g/cm3.

What quality are zircon diamonds considered to be?

Zircon gem-stones are not diamonds. Zircon, the oldest known mineral on earth -- is composed of ZrSiO4. Diamonds are formed from carbon. High-quality zircons can be confused with other gemstones, and these are usually the stones used in high-quality jewelery.


Do real diamonds float?

No, real diamonds do not float in water because they are very dense and sink to the bottom. The high density of diamonds is due to their tightly packed carbon atoms, which makes them heavier than water.


How can you recognize diamond in mines?

The field test for diamonds is 'extreme hardness'. Diamond mining operations separate raw stones from other material using water: since the specific gravity of diamonds is higher (heavier) than the other material, the diamonds can be collected in trays in separate levels of the washing operations.
