CUBIC ZIRCONIA WHITE AAA
“Due to its low cost and close visual likeness to diamond, cubic zirconia has remained the most gemologically and economically important diamond simulant since 1976.”- Statistics Cubic zirconia (CZ) is the cubic crystalline form of zirconium dioxide (ZrO2). The synthesized material is hard, optically flawless and usually colourless, but may be made in a variety of different colours. Loose cubic zirconia stones are generally colorless, but many shades of colors can be added using trace elements during the manufacturing process. Clarity, or clearness, of loose cubic zirconia is a quality factor. The manufacturing process can sometimes cloud a stone, making visible imperfections. Just as with genuine diamonds, the clearer the stone is, the greater the value.

AGATE STONE
We know agate has been used by man for at least 3000 years as it got its name from the Ancient Greek philosopher Theophrastus.
Theophrastus named the gemstone after the Achates River in Sicily where he came across them. The island was a Greek colony before it was conquered by the Romans and was the source of agate gemstones for many centuries. Agate was used to make rings, seals and ornaments and is a variety of chalcedony which in turn is a type of quartz.
Chalcedony has many varieties including onyx, jasper and bloodstone but agate is generally the banded or striped version although with these often similar quartzes they can be easily confused. Agates are made up of successive layers of material, sometimes curved, sometime flat, of various thickness, color and transparency.
The variety of colors and patterns has led to a number of different names for agate including lace agate, moss agate and fire agate. As a rule, agate has a striped appearance with green, yellow, red and brown being the most common color schemes but some dyed versions are evenly colored throughout.
Agates come in a wide variety of natural colors, brown, red, lilac, pink, yellow as well as black, gray and white but as it is quite a porous gemstone it does take dye quite well so come brightly colored or even colored gems may well have been treated in this way.
With colored gemstones it is usually the color that really determines the price but with agates things are a little different. As a rule natural blues and greens are rarer than other colors in agates so they tend to fetch the higher prices.
Moss Agate is mostly creamy colored with greenish inclusions that look like moss, plants or grass while Dentritic Agate, sometimes called Tree Agate, is similar but the inclusions are more brown and branch-like.
The blue agates can be the most expensive with the very rare Ellensburg Agates reaching top prices and Blue Lace and Cellmark Agates also being well valued. Other agates tend to come in a variety of colors in different patterns and it is the combination of bright colors in interesting patterns that raises the price of these gemstones.
