ZrO2 Zirconia overview
Zirconium dioxide ZrO2, 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 rare mineral baddeleyite. The high temperature cubic crystalline form is rarely found in nature as mineral tazheranite ; (Zr,Ti,Ca)O2 and a doubtful mineral arkelite. This form, also called cubic zirconia, is synthesized in various colours for use as a gemstone and a diamond simulant.
