ABOUT

Zircon

Zircon is a colorful gem with high refraction and fire that’s unfairly confused with cubic zirconia.

Why we love this gemstone

GEOLOGICAL CLOCK

With radioactive trace elements that tick off time, zircon is a geological clock that tells us about the early earth.

BRILLIANCE AND FIRE

Zircon has very high luster, refractive indices, and dispersion, giving it lots of brilliance and rainbow flashes of fire.

DOUBLE-DOUBLE

Zircon’s pronounced double refraction means you can see twice as many facets and twice as much fire.
