Zircon's name comes from the Arabic zargoon, meaning vermilion.Natural Zircons are one of the few Gemstones with dispersion or fire. Zircon approaches Diamond in fire, so the Colorless Zircon has been a successful natural substitute for Diamond. Zircon occurs naturally in a large range of colours including: yellow, red, orange, brown, green, and blue. Heat treatment is often used to produce stones which are colourless, golden brown, or sky blue. Many of the available colours are very attractive, and zircons also have a high dispersion, and therefore show good "fire".Zircon is a naturally occurring gemstone, it should not be confused with the recently created and ubiquitous Cubic Zirconia.

SOURCES FOR THIS GEMSTONE Sri Lanka, Tanzania, Thailand and Cambodia. TREATMENTS Heat treatment is often used to produce Zircon which is colourless, golden brown, or sky blue. CARE Zircon is a very good choice for jewelry but it should be stored in a separate compartment or in a jewelry bag to prevent scratching by harder Gemstones. Jewelry featuring Zircon should not be cleaned in an ultrasonic or steam cleaner. We recommend ionic cleaners and/or warm, soapy water and a soft brush as the best way to clean Zircon. |
