Bright red Cubic Zirconium gemstone. Cubic Zirconium is the cubic crystalline form of zirconium dioxide. First produced commercially
in the 1970s, it remains a substitute for diamonds because of it's durability and close visual likeness to diamonds. The red color is caused
by the addition of Cerium. Weighs 6.75 carats.
