Zircon<br />

Zircon is the oldest mineral on earth, with specimens in Australia<br />

dating back 4.4 billion years. Because it is quite brilliant and<br />

has fire close to that of diamond, colourless zircon has been<br />

used as a natural diamond substitute until recent decades, but<br />

it is a beautiful gem in its own right. The way zircon breaks up<br />

light causes viewers to see double when looking into the stone,<br />

meaning that zircon doubles its own sparkle. Beloved throughout<br />

history, this gem was thought during the Middle Ages to aid sleep,<br />

drive away evil spirits, and promote wisdom.<br />
