在珠宝市场上出现的某些类型的宝石矿物,只有经过某种处理后才能使其比在天然状态下更富有吸引力、更为畅销。蓝色和无色的锆石在自然界均有产出,但数量不太多,从商业角度来看,质量较佳者为数甚少。然而,随着新的加工方法的出现,宝石学家们已经能够将吸引力不大的锆石转变成无色的和(或)彩色的宝石。经一个多世纪的研究,宝石学家提出了使用锆石代替钻石的可能性。现在,这个行业正在大规模地发展。许多早期研究工作者曾对作为岩石中的一种副矿物的锆石进行了广泛的研究(Vit- Some types of gem minerals that appear in the jewelry market can only be made more attractive and sold better than they are in their natural state only after some treatment. Blue and colorless zircon are produced in nature, but not too many in number, from a commercial point of view, the quality is very small. However, with the advent of new processing methods, gemmologists have been able to turn less attractive zircons into colorless and / or colored gems. After more than a century of research, gemmologists have proposed the possibility of using zircon instead of diamond. Now, this industry is developing on a large scale. Many early researchers have conducted extensive studies of zircon as a siderite in rocks (Vit-
