At around 4.4 billion years old Zircon has the unique distinction of being the oldest mineral on earth. Its icy blue hues and festive sparkle make it one of our favourite gemstones but amazingly this wonder is not commonly known about. Much like Sapphire it can be found in red, yellow, orange, green, brown, and colourless. Blue zircon is created through heat treating brown zircon, although only certain physical structures of brown zircon can be transformed into blue. Blue zircon is pleochroic, meaning it can appear to be different colours when viewed from various angles. Often you will see shades of sea green in an otherwise cerulean blue zircon.
Zircon’s exceptional light dispersion, or fire, is due to a strong double refraction (birefringence). This causes white light to split into a spectrum of colours, producing the rainbow effect most people are familiar with. Though it is slightly softer than its blue counterpart, the sapphire, ranging 6 to 7.5 on the Mohs hardness scale, this brilliance and fire make it very desirable. Beautiful specimens of zircon can be found in Cambodia, Sri Lanka, Thailand, Myanmar, and Australia.
During the Middle Ages, people believed that zircon gemstones could induce sound sleep, ward off evil, and bring prosperity and wisdom.
