This lab-created blue spinel displays the ocean blue shade of zircon without its characteristic brittleness. Crafted as a zircon simulant, these heart-faceted stones offer jewelers a durable, workable alternative for settings that demand that distinctive blue hue. The stones are generally safe for stone-in-place casting, though some risk of damage may occur. Clean with warm, soapy water; use of an ultrasonic or steam cleaner is usually safe.
Calibrated gemstone sizes may vary slightly ±0.10mm.
