Zircon is known since the middle Ages. The oldest zircons were found in Australia, their age is estimated at 4,4 billion years. The name probably derives from the Persian "zargun" meaning "gold color," although the color scheme of the zircons is very diverse. The most frequent blue zircons. Most of them are pastel blue, but some exceptional gems have a bright blue. Also available colorless, green, dark red, purple, yellow, brown and orange zircons. Due to its high refractive index and strong dispersion, zircon has a strong Shine and intense sparkle. The luster varies from glassy to diamond. Colorless stones are brilliant-cut. They once fraudulently claimed to be an "Mature" diamonds. On the other hand, should not be confused with real zircon synthetic cubic Zirconia, cubic Zirconia – a common diamond simulant. Colored stones have a brilliant or step (emerald) cut. Round stones often give a "zircon" cut, similar to a standard round brilliant, but with additional near facet edges. Despite its relative hardness (6,5 to 7,5 on the Mohs scale) zircon is brittle and therefore sensitive to shocks and pressure. This stone has the propensity to wear along facet edges. Its use in rings should be limited to protective settings or decorations for special occasions. Store jewelry with zircon should be carefully in individual paper bags so they don't hit each other.
