Zircon's fire, brilliance, and overall beauty can match any gem. The affordability of its vibrant greens, sky blues, and pleasing earth tones contributes to its growing popularity today. The white zircon was once considered only as a diamond alternative, but today we know that natural zircons are in fact the most ancient materials on Earth, holding within their brilliant depths a time capsule of our planet's birth. Collectors are now appreciating this gemstone more than ever. The oldest zircon was found in a large meteorite in Chile. It is the oldest thing scientists have ever examined to date. It was formed at least 4.6 billion years ago in the swirling disk of dust and rocks that became the planets.

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." Today, natural zircon is often overlooked because cubic zirconia, a laboratory-grown diamond imitation, is so much more common and known. Many people do not even realize that there is a beautiful natural gemstone called zircon. It is mined in Cambodia, Sri Lanka, Vietnam, Thailand, Madagascar and other countries. Because 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.
