Zircon History

Zircon is the oldest mineral on earth and is found in the crust of the earth. It occurs as a common accessory mineral in igneous rocks, in metamorphic rocks and as grains in sedimentary rocks. It is a common constituent of most sands and has been used for thousands of years.

Considered one of the densest gemstones on the planet, zircon is also 50% denser than diamond. In short, if you compare the same size of a diamond with zircon, the latter will prove heavier. Alternatively, if you take a 1 carat diamond and a zircon that looks akin to the diamond in size, Zircon will be 1.5 carats!

Zircons have amazing fire, and as a result colourless zircons rival diamonds in sparkle.

Zircon gems do not have any harmful effects on the wearer. Studies have shown that they emit small amounts of radiation because they carry tiny traces of uranium within their structure. These amounts are very small and do not pose any health issues to our body.
