    I know this wasn't in the same thread but I'm adding it since I just
    ran into another jeweler who is apparently misinformed and doesn't
    want to listen to reality (or look at the rough material to prove
    it).. 

    CZ is NOT the same as a Zircon.. similiar names, completely different
    material, with one being natural the other being created. There are
    many more differences (crystal structure, birefringence, etc) but I
    will stop there... so all you people who think a zircon is the same
    as a CZ break out your mineral books, or go to a wiki or something
    and get informed.. this way you won't look like you don't know what
    you're talking about.. I won't be dealing with this particular
    jeweler again.. nor will they get any references / referrals from
    me..
