In the middle ages, zircon was said to aid sleep, bring prosperity, and promote honor and
wisdom in its owner. The name probably comes from the Persian word
"zargun" which means "gold-colored."

The fiery, brilliance of zircon can rival any gemstone. The affordability of its vibrant greens, sky
blues, and pleasing earth tones contributes to its growing popularity today.

Zircon is mined in Cambodia, Sri Lanka, Vietnam, Thailand, and other countries. Becuase it can be
colorless, green, blue, yellow, brown, orange, dark red, and all the colors in between, it is a
popular gem for connoisseurs who collect different colors
or zircon from different localities.

Zircon jewelry should be stored carefully because although this ancient gem is hard, facets can
abrade and chip. Clean with a mild dish soap: use a toothbrush to scrub
behind the stone where dust can collect.
