Because of its name, zircon is sometimes confused with the synthetic stone cubic zirconia. Zircon’s name can be traced back to the word “zargun,” which means “gold-colored,” alluding to the honey-colored variety of the gemstone.  Zircon actually comes in a wide range of colors, making it a very attractive addition to any jewelry collection. Currently, the most popular color is the pastel turquoise-blue displayed by Cambodian blue zircon. The best samples of Cambodian blue zircon feature a saturated blue.

Zircon can be found in igneous rock formations and gem deposits in several places around the world, including Thailand, Brazil, Sri Lanka, Australia and Cambodia. Mines in Thailand, Cambodia and Sri Lanka produce the largest gem quality crystals and the greatest variety of colors. Of these three sources, Cambodia produces the best quality blue zircon.
