Yes, because is very hard - The Mohs hardness is 8.
The correct name is zirconium dioxide (with the chemical formula ZrO2) - crystallized in the cubic form, not cubic zirconium (zirconium, Zr, is the metal).

Does cubic zirconia contain lead?
Only as an impurity, in traces. The correct term is cubic zirconia (ZrO2), not cubic zirconium (Zr).
What are some every day things that contain zirconium?
it is mostly found in laptops, cubic zirconium also known as a diamond, heatproof bricks and ballpoint pens!
What does 925 CZ mean on a ring?
It means that the ring is silver, and the stones are cubic zirconium.
What does 925 cz on a ring means?
It means that the ring is silver, and the stones are cubic zirconium.
What does 375 cz mean on a ring?
9ct gold and cubic zirconium stone(s)
Does zirconium cut glass?
The metallic element Zirconium (Zr) has a Moh's hardness of 5.0, this is not hard enough to cut glass. The crystalline compound Zircon (zirconium silicate ZrSiO4) has a Moh's hardness of 7.5 7.5 is harder than Quartz and therefore Zircon will scratch glass. The crystalline compound Zirconium dioxide (ZrO2), sometimes known as zirconia (the one that looks like diamond) has a Moh's hardness of 8-8.5. This too will scratch glass.
What do you call a phony diamond?
Zirconium or Cubic Zirconium
Is zirconium made for diamonds?
Not zirconium (the metal) but the zirconium dioxide - ZrO2 (crystallized in cubic form) is very similar as appearance to diamond.
Is it difficult to tell if a ring is cubic zirconia?
You just use a scratch test.Zirconia won't scratch glass at least not usually.It pretty mush is glass.A diamond will scratch pretty much anything.
Which is bigger a cubic zirconium a cubic meter a cubic parsec a cubic yard or a cubic Rubix?
A cubic zirconium is a crystal. They come in many sizes, but most are probably smaller than a cubic yard. A Rubik's cube is a toy about 3" x 3" x 3". Of a cubic yard and a cubic meter, the cubic meter is larger. A cubic parsec is considerably larger than either a cubic yard or cubic meter.
Does cubic zirconia contain lead?
Only as an impurity, in traces. The correct term is cubic zirconia (ZrO2), not cubic zirconium (Zr).
Will glass scratch glass?
Yes, glass can scratch glass. The hardness of the material determines if it will cause a scratch, with harder materials like diamonds being able to scratch glass. It is best to avoid rubbing glass objects against each other to prevent scratches.
What is a cubic zarconia?
Cubic zirconia (or CZ) is the cubic crystalline form of zirconium dioxide (ZrO2). The synthesized material is hard, optically flawless and usually colorless, but may be made in a variety of different colors. It should not be confused with zircon, which is a zirconium silicate (ZrSiO4). It is sometimes erroneously called "cubic zirconium". In other words: It's a fake (man-made) diamond.
What are some every day things that contain zirconium?
it is mostly found in laptops, cubic zirconium also known as a diamond, heatproof bricks and ballpoint pens!
Will exacto knives scratch glass?
Exacto knives can scratch glass, yes, but not with the first strike.
Will 000 steel wool scratch glass?
will 0000 rock wool scratch windsheild glass
In what value is a cubic zirconium measured in?
its measured in 6.49 -3 at 20 dgrees c.
