Cubic zirconia is not considered a mineral because it is a synthetic material, created in laboratories rather than formed naturally in the Earth's crust. Minerals are defined as naturally occurring, inorganic solids with a specific chemical composition and crystalline structure. While cubic zirconia has a crystalline structure similar to that of diamonds, its artificial origin disqualifies it from being classified as a mineral.
