About Starlite

El starlita es el nombre comercial del zircón de color azul brillante producido mediante tratamiento térmico de zircones marrones naturales. Su espectacular color azul intenso y su alto brillo lo convierten en una alternativa popular al zafiro. Aunque en ocasiones se le llama «diamante de Matura» o «zircón azul», no debe confundirse con la circonia cúbica sintética. La mayoría de los zircones azules del mercado provienen de Camboya y Sri Lanka.
