Blue Zircon - The Most Brilliant of All
The most brilliant of all blue gemstones is undoubtedly Zircon. It has a higher refractive index than even sapphire, tanzanite or spinel, which means more light is returned back out of the top of the gemstone, instead of passing through the bottom. Zircon, however is not well known to the general public. It is a natural mineral, zirconium silicate, and is found in a range of colors, including white, blue, yellow, orange, brown, rose and green. Blue Zircon is the most popular color and it is produced by heat treatment of Brown Zircon. Not all Brown Zircon can turn blue - it has to have the correct physical structure. Zircon is the oldest known mineral on the earth. It is also very dense and so will appear smaller than most other gemstones of the same weight. The affordability of this gemstone contributes to its growing popularity. Zircon jewelry should be stored carefully because, although it is a hard gem scoring about 7.5 on the Mohs scale, it is somewhat brittle and facets can abrade and chip if knocked.
