... the first truly successful diamond simulant, "cubic zirconia." Also known by the acronym "CZ," "cubic zirconia" is zirconium dioxide that is synthesized in a laboratory. The "cubic" part of the name indicates that the zirconia has been produced to form in cubic crystals, like diamond. This is not typical for zirconia - its stable form is monoclinic crystals ... A special stabilizer must be used to grow zirconia in cubic crystals. 1, record 1, English, - cubic%20zirconia
