Blue zircon reminds of “cool blue of arctic ice caves and deep, frigid water”
Zircon is derived from the Arabic word “Zar gun” which means “gold like”, but it refers to the original yellow sapphire.
Zircon occurs in a big range of different colors, such as red, orange, yellow, green, blue, violet, but also as brown and colorless, more rare specimens.
Blue zircon also comes in a variety of hues, different shades of blue, such as pastel blue, neon blue, light blue, deep blue.
Zircon is composed of a mixture of Zirconium Oxide (ZrO2) and Silicon Dioxide (SiO2).
Blue zircon has a hardness of 7.5 on the Moh’s scale. The edges are easily damaged, thus it is recommended that the stone be mounted in earrings or pendants.
Sources of zircon are the Asian countries such as Sri Lanka, Burma, Thailand, Cambodia, and also Australia.
Mystical properties of zircon include the power of relieving pain, ensuring a peaceful sleep devoid of nightmares, protecting travelers from disease and injury.
Blue zircon is actually one of the few colored stones with “fire” (much like a diamond has). When well cut, you can see flashes of rainbow colors in one when you turn it in the light.
Blue zircon is also called “Starlite”.
Other December birthstones can be found at: December birthstone: Turquoise and A December birthstone: Tanzanite.
