A Small History

In the 1980s, single crystals of synthetic zincite, which grew as a by-product of industrial uses started appearing on the gem market as cut stones for jewelry. The magazine “Gemmology” featured this material in 1995, where its formation through zinc white production was explained, and the stone drew more attention. It is prized as a cut stone for its transparent nature and colors.
