Why get Cubic Zirconia instead of the real thing?

Purchasing the Cubic Zirconia version of the Fire Opal Gemstone gives many advantages. Two of the advantages include cost and hardness.

A Cubic Zirconia is harder than a Fire Opal Gemstone, where Fire Opal rates at a 5.5 – 6.5 on the Mohs Scale; Cubic Zirconia versions come in at 8 – 8.5 on the same scaling system. This increase in durability makes this gemstone suitable for rings and bracelets.
