  Zircon Gemstone 

The traditional birthstone for December is Zircon.

Zircon is an important gemstone of many colors, and is an historical gemstone used for thousands of years. It is sometimes looked upon as an inexpensive diamond simulant. Zircon is a valuable gem in its own right. Its color diversity is caused by traces of certain impurities. Many of the gem forms of zircon are heat treated to enhance color and increase transparency.

Zircon comes closer to resembling natural diamond than any other natural gem. Its strong luster and intense fire gives it a real sparkle that is comparable to diamond. However, its popularity is somewhat diminished by the fact that it is often perceived as an inexpensive diamond imitation. Colorless zircon is easily distinguished from diamond by its strong double refraction and lower hardness.

The brilliant luster and fire of Zircon, combined with its good hardness and range of colors, make it a most desirable gem. It is often used as a less expensive, yet natural alternative to diamond.

Zircon is sometimes confused with Cubic Zirconia. Cubic Zirconia, a synthetic, inexpensive diamond simulant, resembles colorless Zircon and has a similar sounding name. However, the two are entirely separate substances, and have no connection with each other except for the fact that they both contain the element zirconium in their chemical structure.

Zircon comes in several varieties:

Matura Diamond is trade name for colorless Zircon.

Jacinth - Yellow, orange, brown, or red variety of Zircon. Also synonymous with Hyacinth. Though the terms Jacinth and Hyacinth are no longer used in the gem trade, they are historically important names going back to biblical times. In ancient times, before there were mineralogical classifications for gemstones, the term Hyacinth may also have referred to an orange or brownish Topaz.

Jargon - Colorless, pale gray, or pale yellow variety of Zircon.

Starlite - Blue gem variety of Zircon. The color of Starlite is rarely natural, and is almost always heat treated.

Zircon sources include Cambodia, Burma (Myanmar), Sri Lanka (Ceylon), Australia, Tanzania, Mozambique, Madagascar, Nigeria, Pakistan, and Afghanistan.

Because Zircon occurs in so many colors, there are many gemstones that resemble it. Colorless zircon resembles diamond. It also resembles synthetic Diamond simulants such as cubic zirconia and strontium titanate. It is distinguished from these and other colorless gem forms by its strong double refraction.

Blue Zircon can be similar to Aquamarine, Blue Topaz, Blue Tourmaline, and Blue Spinel; Golden-brown Zircon can be similar to Topaz, Citrine, and Sapphire; Yellow zircon can be similar to Yellow Diamond, Yellow Sapphire, Golden Beryl, Chrysoberyl, and Topaz; and Pink Zircon can be similar to Rose Quartz, Morganite, Kunzite, Spinel, and Pink Topaz.
