[QUOTE="CoolHandLuke, post: 206554, member: 4850"] to be technical i doubt it was Cubic. Zirconia goes through 3 phases, in much the same way ice becomes water, and then gas: when heated, its phases are Monoclinic, Tetragonal, and Cubic. Monoclinic is what the vast majority of our zirconia is. its the lowest heating used to create polycrystalline zirconia. Tetragonal is the area we are encroaching with the HT zirconias. it needs higher temperature and yields different results. in order to get to Cubic zirconia phase, we need ovens that can reach the 3000C mark, and very few of us have such equipment. but Cubic comes out looking clear and hard and like a diamond. CubeX2 however, is a Tetragonal form of zirconia that has been branded to sound like Cubic. do not confuse the two. CubeX2 is a chippy zirconia brand that i use daily, with good results. [/QUOTE]
