Colorless (white) zircon

Despite the rich color palette (zircons are blue, red, brown,yellow) precious zircons, colorless and visually clean zircons are very rare. Due to a high rate of dispersion (the play of coloured flashes) and a good gloss, colorless variety of zircon has earned the name “Matyrskogo” or Ceylon diamond.

Jewelry zircon combines amazing optical effects:

Variance is a game of colored flashes in the gem. Variance of zircon is very high, higher than diamond, this makes it very attractive for jewelry. Natural zircons show a tremendous fire and the change of bright flashes, thanks to this clear, colorless zircons are sometimes used as substitutes for diamonds.

Birefringence - effect of a split of edges in zircons it is very strong and noticeable to the naked eye. The photos birefringence can cause a feeling raspolozhennogo image of the gem. The effect of the split faces helps to accurately determine the zircon from a number of other colored gems.

Common misconceptions about zircons

Rare natural zircon gem because of the similarity in name is often confused with cubic Zirconia (cubic Zirconia), a cheap synthetic gem that is used as imitation diamond. This is not the only name confusion that arises from buyers. Jewelry zircon still confused with similar-sounding Zirconia - metal in the periodic table it is denoted as Zr.

To summarize:

Zircon (ZrSiO4) - precious natural gem.

Cubic Zirconia (Cubic Zirconia) - cubic Zirconia, a synthetic diamond simulant.

Zirconium (Zr) is a metal from the periodic table.
