About Zircon – The Brilliant Gemstone of Light and Balance

Zircon is a natural zirconium silicate mineral prized for its high refractive index and strong dispersion, which gives it diamond-like brilliance and fire. Its wide color palette ranges from colorless, blue, yellow, green, brown to reddish hues, making it versatile and attractive for various jewelry styles.

Unlike synthetic cubic zirconia, natural Zircon is a genuine mineral with notable durability (Mohs hardness 6 to 7.5) and impressive optical properties. Its historic use spans thousands of years, from ancient times when it was believed to bring prosperity and spiritual insight, to modern times where it is prized both as a gemstone and a powerful astrological stone.
