This lab-created blue spinel displays the ocean blue shade of zircon without its characteristic brittleness. Crafted as a zircon simulant, these pear faceted stones offer a beautiful alternative for jewelers seeking the distinctive color of blue zircon in a more workable material. These stones are generally safe for stone-in-place casting, though some risk of damage may occur. Clean with warm, soapy water; ultrasonic and steam cleaning are usually safe.
Calibrated gemstone sizes may vary slightly +/–0.10mm.
