SOME INTERESTING FACTS ABOUT ZIRCON - Zircon is the oldest known stone on earth. Much older than diamonds and just as brilliant. For centuries, people thought these gemstones were actually diamonds. The fiery brilliance of Zircon rivals diamonds and any other gemstone. Zircons are double refractive, so if you look deeply into the photos, you will see a slight blur or doubling of the facets.

Zircon is one of the heaviest gemstones, which means that it will weigh more than other stones with the same measurements. Zircon is also a hard gemstone, which is perfect for jewelry.

Natural Zircon today suffers on account of the similarity of its name to "cubic zirconia", the laboratory-grown diamond imitation is not related to natural Zircon in any way. Many people are unaware that there is a natural gemstone called Zircon. Zircon is the Birthstone of December.

This gemstone is natural and is straight from the mines of Cambodia with the double refraction and high dispersion inherent in this gemstone. Zircons are the only gemstone that have higher dispersion than diamonds (more flash).
