ZIRCON

Zircon is one of the oldest known stones in the earth's crust, with some crystals dating back over 4.4 billion years. With its intense brilliance, diamond-like fire and broad palette of natural colors, it embodies purity, ancient wisdom and lucidity. Too often mistaken for synthetic imitations (such as cubic zirconium), the real zircon is a noble, powerful natural gem that is often overlooked by the general public.
