A created diamond has the same chemical makeup as a genuine stone. Scientists take the minerals out of the earth and combine them to create the stone. A CZ is more or less a piece of glass cut like a stone. Neither are considered Genuine stones but the created diamond is actually a diamond where as the CZ is just a fake.

The time of formation for diamond was longer that the formation time of a Cz. Its like making wine . the longer its cured the better the characteristics.
Never the less a Cz(C zirconia) characteristics come very close to the real diamond.
