MATERIAL:
Natural Untreated ZIRCON
.
Named from its containing the element,
zirconium
; which was named from the Arabic,
zargun
= "
gold color".
Zircons
are typically found in magmatic, metamorphic, pegmatitic, and alluvial rocks. Red and Green colors are the most valued of all sought after by collectors and investors worldwide. Zircons’ high refractive index gives this natural gemstone an amazing Diamond-Like appearance. Most uninformed people mistake natural
Zircon
with “Cubic Zirconia” which is a totally man made, worthless imitation. Natural
Zircons
from Sri Lanka and Russia were found in royal jewelry and treasure chests of most European kings and other leading rulers. Most of these are now displayed in museums or as valuable part of personal collections. Very unfortunately, Zircon is the most imitated gemstone on the market, so make sure you are buying from a reputable source.
LEGEND and LORE:
In antiquity, the zircon was often called
Hyacinth
or
Jacinth
, the legend tells of a mythological character named
Hyacinthus,
a youth brutally slain by Apollo who was jealous of the young man's beauty. His blood produced thy hyacinth flower, whose beauty is said to be reflected in the red and brownish-peach, honey-pink
Zircon
.
The red
Zircon
or
Hyacinth
was believed to drive away evil spirits and nightmares, protect its wearer from enchantment and lightning.
It helps to soothe liver complaints, childbirth, insomnia. Spiritually,
Zircon
promotes spiritual sight and understanding.
Brings self worth, tolerance and inner peace, calms and quiets the mind. Increases vitality and is a wonderful all round healer.
Zircon
