Zircon, a brilliant and often overlooked gemstone, boasts a remarkable fire and luster that can rival diamonds. This natural zirconium silicate occurs in a wide spectrum of colors, including blue, yellow, brown, red, and colorless. With a hardness ranging from 6.5 to 7.5 on the Mohs scale, it offers reasonable durability. Zircon's historical significance and its occasional confusion with synthetic cubic zirconia underscore its unique place in the world of gems. Notably, it is also a very old mineral, with some zircons being the oldest minerals found on Earth.
