substitute for diamond |

Zircon is a beautiful gemstone with a high refractive index and strong dispersion. (It should not be confused with Cubic Zirconia because the two are completely unrelated.) Zircon exhibits a range of colors including yellow, brown, orange, red, violet, blue, green and colorless. On Mohs’ scale of hardness, it is 6.5-7. It has a vitreous to brilliant luster and sources include Burma (Myanmar), Cambodia, Sri Lanka, Thailand, Australia, Brazil, Korea, Madagascar, Mozambique, Nigeria, Tanzania and Vietnam.
Color
Prized among gem collectors, zircon is available in a wide range of colors.
Luster
Zircon stands out naturally with its highly reflective nature. The reflective adamantine luster has great brilliance and intensive fire. As a result, it has often been compared to diamonds.
Hardness and Durability
Even though it is hard, zircon is also very brittle, so it requires care in handling.
History
Possibly one of the first crystals ever cut from common rock, zircon has also been referred to as jacinth, hyacinth and jargoon. While mentioned in the ancient Biblical texts and writings from other cultures, little was known about this crystal, and sometimes it was referred to as the "Mystery Stone."
Lore
During the Middle Ages, zircon was often prescribed as a protective amulet. It was attributed with the power to ward of plague, wounds and injuries. If the wearer came in close proximity with the plague, the stone supposedly would turn dull. Additionally, the stone promised success in finances, immunity from lightening, protection from weapons, and peace instead of violence. St. Hildegard of Bingen said that the stone had the power to cure someone bewitched by magical spells and phantoms. As late as the nineteenth century, writers were still praising the medicinal powers of the stone.
Zircon deposits are found in Burma, Cambodia, Sri Lanka, Thailand, as well as Australia, Brazil, Korea, Madagascar, Mozambique, Nigeria, Tanzania, and Vietnam.
While available in a variety of colors, zircon is often prized for its pleasing blue shades. With its brilliant fire, zircon is pleasing to the eye and many collectors prize it.
Preserving the beauty of gemstones is usually a matter of common sense and simple precaution. Maintenance most often involves properly cleaning jewelry pieces or keeping them out of harm's way.
Maintain their beauty by cleaning your gems.
Gems, particularly those in rings, will collect soap film, oil and dirt between the prongs of the mounting and the gem. By cleaning your gemstones with warm water, a soft toothbrush and a gentle dishwashing liquid, you can restore lost luster and brilliance to gems and keep them looking like new. Jewelry Television offers a few cleaning products that may be helpful. For specific gemstone details, see our Gemstone Enhancement Chart.
Avoid wearing gems during strenuous exercise.
A random blow can damage the beauty of a gem. To prevent breakage, store gemstone jewelry in a safe place while engaging in activities where there's a possibility of hitting the stone.
Handle your jewelry by the mounting,not the stone.
Grasping jewelry by the gem can loosen a stone in its setting and create a risk of eventual loss.
Store gemstones separately.
Gems that are harder than others will scratch softer stones if they come into contact with each other.
