Zircon is a natural gemstone of the Nesosilicates family of minerals, revered for its sparkling, diamond-like appearance. Zircons are found in a plethora of colours such as yellow, blue, white, and green – with the colourless variety often used as an inexpensive alternative to diamonds.

Gem-quality Zircons are found in Thailand, Africa, Cambodia, and Burma, with the finest specimens originating in Sri Lanka. Sri Lankan or Ceylonese Zircons are specifically lauded for their range of vivid, highly saturated hues and transparency.

Astrologically, Zircons have long been believed to have several healing and rejuvenating properties. It is said that Zircons have the power to soothe the mind and reduce stress, rendering them helpful for people who are going through difficult times or are overwhelmed. Additionally, Zircons are also recommended by astrologers to strengthen one’s physical immune system and digestion, and also to aid recovery from injuries.
