This page is devoted to Zircon gemstones. Zircons are
found in many places throughout the world, and in many
colors. Most of these stones will be from East Africa,
except for the blue zircons and a few from Nigeria.
Most zircon is heated, as are all blue zircons. Many of
the honey brown stones respond very well to just a
gentle heating, turning them a lighter brighter color
such as the yellow stones from Tanzania. Zircon is the
birthstone for December and has a hardness of 6 to 7.5
If zircons are cut in a certain orientation, you will
see a strong doubling of each facets.
