Collection: Zircon

Zircon is a naturally occurring gemstone that is often celebrated for its brilliance, fire, and diverse range of colors. It is a zirconium silicate mineral and is distinct from cubic zirconia, which is a synthetic gemstone. Zircon’s high refractive index and strong dispersion give it a sparkle that is comparable to diamonds, making it a popular alternative for those seeking an affordable yet dazzling stone.

Colors and Varieties:
Zircon is available in a variety of colors, including blue, red, green, yellow, brown, and clear (colorless). The most sought-after color is blue, which is typically produced through heat treatment of brown zircon. Colorless zircon, also known as Matura Diamond, is another popular variety due to its diamond-like appearance. Each color variety can exhibit different intensities depending on the stone’s origin and treatment.

Origins:
Zircon is mined in several countries, with notable sources including Sri Lanka, Myanmar (Burma), Cambodia, and Australia. The deposits in these regions produce some of the finest-quality zircon in the world.
