Zirconium dioxide (ZrO. 2), sometimes known as zirconia (not to be confused with zircon), is a white crystalline oxide of zirconium. Its most naturally occurring form, with a monoclinic crystalline structure, is the mineral baddeleyite. A dopant stabilized cubic structured zirconia, cubic zirconia, is synthesized in various colours for use as a gemstone and a diamond simulant. 1 Production, chemical properties, occurrence.
If zirconia is a single crystal form, then it is the cubic zirconia gemstone that we discussed earlier. Lesson Summary. Zirconium is a metal that has 40 protons in its nucleus, so it is the 40th element on the periodic table. It has the chemical symbol Zr. It was discovered by Martin Heinrich Klaproth in 1789 and first isolated by JÃ¶ns Berzelius in 1824.
