About Zircon Gemstone
Zircon is a beautiful gem when properly cut because its dispersion is very high, close to a Diamond. Zircon has been known since antiquity today name is most likely derived from the Persian language, Zircon has great brilliance and intensive fire. The luster is vitreous to a brilliants sheen. Zircon is found in a variety of colours including blue, green, yellow, red, brown and colourless. Blue is the most popular colour and can only be produced by heating reddish-brown crystals. Green Zircon may be slightly radioactive if it contains Uranium or Thorium.
Zircon is often confused with the artificial diamond simulant Cubic Zirconia. Cubic Zirconia formula is ZrO2 (zirconium oxide) and Zircon is ZrSiO4 (zirconium silicate). Zircon has also been used as a diamond simulant and resembles Diamond in luster and fire. Colourless Zircon may even be mistaken for a Diamond by experienced jewellers. Zircon is an attractive and affordable gemstone and is the December birthstone.
Zircon is a very widely distributed mineral, but fine crystals are relatively rare.
