Cubic zirconia does not glow under UV light. While some gemstones, like diamonds, fluoresce under UV light, cubic zirconia does not possess this property.
Here's why:
- Fluorescence is the phenomenon where a material absorbs UV light and emits visible light.
- Cubic zirconia is a synthetic gemstone that lacks the specific chemical composition and crystal structure required for fluorescence.
- Diamonds, on the other hand, often exhibit fluorescence due to the presence of trace elements like nitrogen.
Therefore, if you're looking for a gemstone that glows under UV light, cubic zirconia is not the right choice.
