Physical properties

Formation & geological history

If cubic zirconia, it is laboratory-grown rather than a natural rock; natural zirconium dioxide is rare. The metal setting and earring are manufactured jewelry.

Uses & applications

Decorative jewelry; cubic zirconia is a low-cost diamond simulant used in jewelry.

Geological facts

The image shows a metal earring with faceted clear accents; glass or another simulant is also possible, and the stone cannot be confirmed visually.

Field identification & locations

A mounted, faceted appearance distinguishes this as jewelry, not a rock specimen. Confirm the material with gemological testing; the setting obscures diagnostic features.
