Zircon comes in a variety of colors, including blue, yellow, green, brown, and red, and is renowned for its exceptional brilliance.  It is found in many locations worldwide, including Sri Lanka, Myanmar, Cambodia, and Australia. Some of the oldest zircon crystals have been dated to be over 4 billion years old, making them among the oldest minerals on Earth.

Zircon has a hardness of 6.5 to 7.5 on the Mohs scale, making it durable enough for use in various types of jewelry. However, care should be taken to avoid sharp blows and extreme temperatures.

Zircon is associated with promoting spiritual growth, mental clarity, and prosperity. It is also thought to enhance self-confidence and provide protection.

It's important to note the distinction between natural zircon and cubic zirconia. Natural zircon is a genuine gemstone, while cubic zirconia is a synthetic material often used as a diamond simulant.
