Zircon is one of the world’s oldest minerals, with some crystals dating back over 4 billion years. Blue zircon is prized above all other zircon colors, mainly sourced from Cambodia, Sri Lanka, Myanmar, and Australia. Most blue zircon is created by heating brown or green rough, unlocking its vivid aqua tones and brilliance.
Blue zircon’s brilliance and color intensity make it a favorite for antique and Art Deco jewelry. Large, unheated stones are rare and command top value, while smaller treated stones are accessible and highly popular. Its double refraction creates a “fuzzy” look that is distinctive and captivating.
