Description
Zircon is one of nature’s most brilliant gems and a beloved alternative to diamond. In its purest form, zircon is colorless and celebrated for its dazzling sparkle and fiery flashes of multicolored light. The finest of these are found in Matara, Sri Lanka, where they are fondly called Matara Zircon or Matara Diamonds, treasured for their exceptional brilliance and diamond-like appeal.
Beyond its colorless variety, zircon also occurs in a stunning palette of hues, including brown, red, blue, purple, and, on rare occasions, green. Its natural brilliance and dispersion often lead it to be mistaken for cubic zirconia, but genuine zircon possesses a depth and beauty that synthetic stones cannot replicate.
Cherished for centuries, zircon combines heritage, radiance, and versatility, making it a gemstone of choice for both collectors and jewelry lovers seeking timeless sparkle.
