Yellow zircon, a variety of zircon (ZrSiO4), is known for its brilliant luster and vibrant yellow hue, which ranges from pale straw to deep golden. Its high refractive index and strong dispersion give it a diamond-like sparkle.
Historically, zircon has been treasured for centuries, used in jewelry and as protective amulets. In the Middle Ages, it was believed to promote sleep, bring prosperity, and ward off evil spirits. Its brilliance and clarity often led to it being mistaken for diamond.
Today, yellow zircon is popular in the gem market for its beauty and affordability compared to diamonds and other precious stones.
Yellow zircon's popularity has surged among jewelers and collectors due to its unique aesthetic appeal, affordability, rarity, and exclusivity. High-quality yellow zircon from Sri Lanka is especially prized. Sri Lanka is a leading source of zircon and is recognized for its ethical mining practices.
