Zircon Knowledge and Hearts and Arrows Zircon

Zircon is a mineral name, formerly known as zircon, hyacinth stone, transparent as a gem, known as zircon gem.

Chemical composition: zirconium silicate.

The tetragonal crystal system is mostly polytetragonal and tetragonal. Transparent to translucent. Crystals that are crystallized are mostly "high"; crystals are poor or they are "low."

The zircons are red, orange, reddish brown, yellow, green, blue and colorless. There are generally colorless, blue and red varieties. Dispersion is high and there is diamond gloss.

The zircon contains a radioactive element * (U) and thorium (Th). However, the content is very low, far below the safety factor. So everyone can wear zircon decorations with confidence.

Zircon is a special kind of gemstone. It has a high refractive index and strong dispersion. After a colorless or light blue variety is processed, it has a strong fire phenomenon like a diamond. Because it is similar in appearance to diamonds, it is known as a diamond that is comparable to diamonds.

As early as in ancient Greece, this beautiful gem has been loved by people. According to legend, among the twelve gems worn on the chest of the Jewish bishop, there is zircon, known as "Saxon." It is said that the zircon's alias "hyacinth stone" is a remark made by "Saxon" and popular in today's Japan, China's Hong Kong and the Mainland.

One of the zircons originated from the meaning of the Arabic word of Zhu and the golden meaning, while ancient India once called zircon as the “solitary rock.” This also shows that the color of this gem is common in red, gold, and colorless. At the same time, it is stated from another perspective that zircon is very popular in ancient Arabia, Persia and India.

As we all know, many things can be denaturalized after heat treatment, and so are zircons. If the low-grade zircon is heated to a certain degree, it becomes a colorless transparent crystal. For example: Sri Lanka's zircon is mostly green and low-grade, after heat treatment, the color becomes significantly lighter, becoming a high-grade zircon gem. Red and brown zircon produced in Hainan Province of China can be rendered colorless after heat treatment.

The gemstone community lists zircons, turquoises, and lazuli as the birthstones in December. It symbolizes victory and good luck. It is a guarantee of success.

In China, some red or brown-red zircons can be directly grinded into beautiful gemstones without changing color. However, it should be noted that China's red low-grade zircon is also a gemstone with strong dichroism. If it is red from a direction of red zircon, it is light or nearly colorless when viewed from another direction. Therefore, when processing, must be ground in a certain direction, so that red appears in the front of the grinding type.

The famous producing areas of zircon are Sri Lanka, Thailand, Laos, and Cambodia. The zircon produced in Yunnan, China, generally needs to be changed by heating.

The most eye-catching and most positive point cut design of the Hearts, Arrows, and Arrows zircon is the "Heart and Arrows". The so-called Heart of the Arrows uses the world's top cupid cut, cut from the top of the zircon. Looking down, you can see the eight arrows with the same size, light, and symmetry. From the top of the zircon, there are eight symmetrical and plump hearts. The perfect symmetry of the eight hearts and eight arrows, accurate and flawless cutting work is amazing, eight hearts and eight arrows condense one another, metaphorically, "hey, love, hint, dream, first kiss, lingering, tacit understanding, Shanmeng" eight A beautiful artistic conception.

The precise cut symbolizes the perfection of the diamond, and the eight hearts and arrows are symmetrical to each other. Just like Cupid's visit, the love of hearts is reflected in the reflection of hearts and arrows. Because there are hearts and arrows, enriching the meaning of love, it is also named "CUPID CUT".
