Besides being widely distributed, zircon is also one of the oldest minerals on earth. Zircon found in Australia has proved to be the oldest mineral on earth: it has a history of 4.4 billion years. What is this concept? Taking the earth as a reference, the age of the earth (rounded) is about 4.6 billion years, and the zircon age is only less than "200 million" years younger than the earth.
In addition, some people have heard that zircon is radioactive, so they don't want to "provoke" this stone. It is a fact that zircon contains radioactivity, but gemologists have proved through research that trace radioactive elements in zircon jewelry will not pose a threat to human health.
The color of zircon
# Keywords: Brown and yellow are the most common, and blue is the most precious.
Correct understanding of zircon, no longer have to worry about Xiaobai being cheated.
Zircon from the Gem Kingdom
Before talking about color, I want to ask you, do you still remember the "land of gems" we introduced before? Zircon in the animation is a warm man with short orange hair, who especially likes to stick yellow diamonds. At that time, we said that animation was particularly good in detail because it restored the characteristics of each gem to the greatest extent. Speaking of which, you have probably guessed the color of zircon.

Zircon is very rich in color.
More precisely, brown is the most common color of zircon. In addition, there are many colors of zircon, such as blues, greens, reds and colorless.

Zircon will turn blue after traditional heat treatment.
Among them, blue zircon is the most valuable and popular variety. However, natural blue zircon is hard to get, so the blue zircon we see in the market is basically heat-treated. Above, it is a very traditional heat treatment method. We can see that the brown zircon originally packed in the bag turned light blue after heat treatment.
So much for the basic information about zircon. Next, let's take a look at the most confusing and gullible "diamond body body double".
