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.
By Anne Marie Helmenstine, Ph.D. Cubic zirconia or CZ is the crystalline manmade form of zirconium dioxide, ZnO 2. Zirconium dioxide is also known as zirconia.Ordinarily, zirconia would form monoclinic crystals. A stabilizer (yttrium oxide or calcium oxide) is added to cause zirconia to form cubic crystals, hence the name cubic zirconia.y Anne Marie Helmenstine, Ph.D. Cubic zirconia or CZ is the crystalline manmade form of zirconium dioxide, ZnO 2.
