Blue Zircon, a cure for ... plague???

December’s birthstone, Blue Zircon, was known in medieval times as a cure for plague and other ills.  Thankfully, we don’t have to worry about that these days!  The striking characteristics of the Zircon are its brilliance and fire.  Among the popular gems outshone only by Diamond, it is a vibrant and beautiful stone.  Zircons come in many colors, the most popular and exciting being a rich blue.  The chief sources of Zircons are the gravel-beds of Cambodia and Ceylon.  They are usually found in exalted company with rubies, sapphires, and garnets.  Let us show you some very pretty Blue Zircon jewelry!
