1. Zircon is a clay mineral and a kind of jewelry.
Zircon (English name: zinc), also known as zircon, is a silicate mineral and the main ore for refining zirconium metal, which contains impurities such as Hf, Th, U and TR. Zircon widely exists in acidic igneous rocks, metamorphic rocks and other sediments. The chemical properties of zircon are very stable, and gem-grade zircon can also be seen in river gravel. Different zircon will have different colors, such as black, white, orange, brown, green or colorless and transparent. The cut gem-grade zircon looks like a diamond.
Second, zircon is not as valuable as diamond.
Although zircon is similar to diamond, it is not as precious as diamond and has no investment value, so it is not very valuable. Zircon is an ideal choice if you want to have exquisite gem jewelry with reasonable price.
Why zircon is popular:
1. Economy: Compared with natural gemstones, the production cost of zircon is lower because it is artificially synthesized. This makes zircon an economical choice, especially for those who want to own beautiful jewelry, but the budget is limited.
2. Realistic appearance: Due to the continuous progress of manufacturing technology, the appearance of modern zircon is almost the same as that of real diamond, which is difficult to distinguish. It can be used to make all kinds of jewelry, such as rings, necklaces, earrings and so on. It gives people a sense of nobility and luxury, but the price is usually much lower than that of diamonds, so it is more easily accepted by the public.
3. Diversity: Zircon has rich color and shape choices, and consumers can choose the most suitable style according to their personal preferences and needs.
