Aboat yellow zircon.
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. Zircon's hardness of 7.5 on the Mohs scale makes it both durable and suitable for various types of jewelry.
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.
Today, yellow zircon is popular in the gem market for its beauty and affordability compared to diamonds and other precious stones.
