What is the difference between zircon and cubic zirconia?
Zircon is a natural gemstone that forms in the earth, while cubic zirconia is a man-made stone. Natural zircon, especially from Cambodia, has a strong brilliance and fire, making it valuable and unique.
Are these zircons natural and untreated?
Yes, these are 100% genuine Cambodian zircons with no treatment. They are completely natural and untreated, showing their original color and shine.
What is the hardness and durability of zircon?
Zircon has a hardness of about 6.5 to 7.5 on the Mohs scale, making it best for most jewelry. It is best used in rings, earrings, pendants, and other jewelry when set carefully to avoid scratches.
How can I tell if a zircon is genuine?
Natural zircon gemstones usually have strong brilliance, high refractive index, and sometimes fine inclusions. A certified seller or gem test can confirm authenticity. Unlike cubic zirconia, natural zircon feels heavier and has more fire.
