ZIRCON
December’s Birthstone
Prized as a talisman since medieval times, Zircon was believed to clarify the mind, improve confidence and inspire the spirit. Among its many attributes, Zircon was thought to bring wisdom, wealth and protection to those who wear it. Zircon is available in several colors including yellow, orange, and green, with blue and red most sought after, and brown most available. Brown Zircon is commonly enhanced by traditional heating methods to produce red and blue colors, while yellow is occasionally heated to improve its color. Green Zircon is not typically enhanced. To clean Zircon, use warm soapy water and a soft brush. Avoid contact with chemicals. Ask one of Stanley Jeweler’s four Gemologists for details regarding special enhancements and care.
