Not zirconium (the metal) but the zirconium dioxide - ZrO2 (crystallized in cubic form) is very similar as appearance to diamond.

What is the difference of a diamond and diamond aura?

Diamond Aura is the name of a SIMULATED diamond, NOT a synthetic diamond. Natural diamonds and synthetic (cultured) diamonds are identical in being made of pure carbon highly compressed with a hardness of 10. Cultured diamonds cost from 2/3 to 3/4 the price of natural diamonds. SIMULATED diamonds are NOT made of pure carbon. Cubic Zirconium (zirconium dioxide with hardness 8.5) and Mossanite (silicon carbide with hardness 9.25) are simulated diamonds and cost vastly less than natural or cultured diamonds. Diamond Aura stones have a hardness of 8.5, which suggests that they are cubic zirconium.

Why did scientist make Zn the abbreviation for zinc?

Zinc is not the only element whose name starts with the letter z. There is also zirconium. To distinguish between these two elements, it is necessary to use more than just a z. So they made zinc Zn and zirconium Zr. It's true that they could have made zinc Z and still would have been able to distinguish it from Zr, but this would imply that zinc is more important than zirconium, and this would offend the powerful zirconium lobby. Remember, zirconium is used to make fake diamonds.


What are synthetic diamonds made from?

Diamonds are formed from carbon, including those manufactured by man. The diamond-looking synthetic stone Cubic zirconia --CZ -- is the crystaline form of zirconium dioxide (ZrO2). Other diamond-looking synthetics are formed from other minerals.


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.

Health hazerds of Zirconium?

Zirconium is not a toxic element, but the long therm inhalation oz zirconium fine powders is dangerous, leading to pneumoconioses. Zirconium powders are pyrophoric. Processing of Zr in the lathe will be made with carefully cooling.
