2
Zircon offers double reflection, whereas, diamond
displays only one reflection from all angles. But
in case of zircon, it displays different
reflection when you see it from different angles.
3
Zircon stone has lower refractive index compared
to diamond stone. Its refractive index lies
between 1.78-199 which is reasonably low as
compared to diamond stone refractive index.
4
The durability or hardness of zircon stone is 7
on the Mohs scale which is comparative quite low
from a diamond that has a durability of 10 on
Mohs scale.
5
With the presence of traces of radioactive
material, zircon stone offers a wide range of
colors ranging from white, blue, green, black,
etc. On the other hand, diamond offers only a
single color.
6
Observing Zircon stone under the magnifier shows
some abrasions and inclusions on its facets. On
the other hand, diamond is crystal clean on the
surface when it is seen under the magnifier.
7
The luster or shine of Zircon stone fades in
front of the diamond stone. Comparing the shine
of two stones, it is quite evident that diamond
easily overpowers Zircon stone.
8
So, these are difference which helps one to
distinguish between the diamond and Zircon Stone.
Diamond is an expensive stone, hence, those who
are looking for cheaper option can opt for zircon
stone.
