Zircon’s image has suffered through the years first by means of its use in its clear form as a less expensive substitute for diamonds and then extra recently with the guy-made diamond replacement, cubic Zirconium. Zircon’s name comes from the Arabic ‘Zarqun’ that means red or the ‘similar sounding Persian word ‘Zargun’ which means golden and it is determined the world over with east Africa and south-east Asia producing a number of the best examples. It becomes renamed Zircon in 1783 by Abraham Werner.

This gemstone is formed primarily in pegmatite and in fissures. However, due to weathering of the gem-embedded rocks, maximum Zircons are observed in alluvial and beach deposits. Zircon is discovered worldwide in igneous rock formations and gem gravels -White Zircon
