BLUE ZIRCON

Picture
Zircon is a natural gemstone, not to be confused with Cubic Zirconia, which is man made.  Zircons come in a variety of colors, including green, yellow, brown, red, colorless, and the most popular, a beautiful sky blue.  

Zircons are most notable for having a high refractive index (more light is reflected back out through the top of the stone, which gives the gem more brilliance) and having a high dispersion (ability to split white light into its spectral colors) similar to that of Diamond.  


Origin: Mainly Thailand, Myanmar, Sri Lanka, Cambodia
Hardness: 7-7.5 on the Mohs scale of harness
Typical Treatment: Heat
Birthstone: December
