Zircon is mined in Cambodia, Sri Lanka, Thailand, Myanmar and Australia.
The most popular variation of Zircon is colorless Zircon, although Zircon is also available in nature in pastel and bright blues, green, dark red, and orange.
Zircon is a mineral that is similar in its appearance and structure to cubic zirconium, a laboratory-grown mineral used primarily for making imitation diamonds. It is one of the heaviest gemstones found in nature, and its characteristic brilliance ranks above even the most illustrious of pearls.
Zircon is worshiped by Hindu peoples because of its frequent appearance in ancient Hindu mythology. Legend tells of a magical Kalpa Tree whose leaves were made of shimmering Zircon. The tree was a gift to the gods.
