Zirconium Oxide
Zirconium oxide (also known as zirconia or as zirconic anhydride, ZrO2) is a toxic white power that is insoluble in water but soluble in mineral acids. Its most naturally occurring form, with a monoclinic crystalline structure, is the mineral baddeleyite. The dopant stabilized cubic structured zirconia, which is synthesized in various colors, is mainly used as a gemstone and a diamond simulant.
