Natural Zircon Jewelry

Blue Zircon is the December Birthstone.

Zircon is a natural gemstone that is the oldest mineral on Earth. Zircon found in Australia is 4.4 billion years old.

Zircon is usually reddish-brown but can be white, orange, yellow, yellowish-brown, purplish red, light red, blue, green, and sometimes colorless. The most valuable colors of zircon are blue, bright red, and green.

Colorless zircon is known for its brilliance and flashes of multicolored light, called fire. These zircon properties are close enough to the properties of diamond to account for centuries of confusion between the two gems.

This gem promotes riches, honor, and wisdom.
