Zircon & Cubic Zirconia
Zircon is an ore of the metal zirconium. It forms tetrogonal crystals from clear to a brown gold colour. Good sized clear crystals are extemely rare and as valuable as diamonds.

Russian scientists developed Cubic Zirconia as a dense clear material through which laser light can be reflected. Then in 1975 one of their scientists cut and polished the rough cubic as you would a diamond - Voilà, cubic zirconia was born! The manufacture is quite remarkable. A man made compound, bevelidite, is melted at temperatures exceeding five thousand degrees - and then an incredibly high electrical current is sent through it, causing the compound to crystallize. These chunks of cubic ziconia, similar to rough diamonds mined in Africa and Russia, are then cut and polished by trained diamond cutters to exact specifications.
. Using the naked eye, even a trained jeweler can¿t detect the difference between good cubic zirconia and genuine diamonds. Both are fully faceted, cut and polished.
