Zircon

Zircon: Earth's Oldest Timekeeper

More than just a beautiful gemstone, zircon is one of the most scientifically important minerals on Earth. Containing trace amounts of uranium and thorium, zircon crystals play a crucial role in radiometric dating, allowing geologists to uncover the history of our planet through U-Pb age analysis.

Zircons are remarkably durable—able to withstand erosion, metamorphism, and transport—and they preserve a detailed record of the geological environments they’ve passed through. Some zircons from Jack Hills in Western Australia have been dated to 4.404 billion years old, making them the oldest known minerals on Earth.

In addition to their scientific relevance, zircon crystals can display brilliant fire and a wide color range, from colorless to golden, blue, red, and green—making them a striking addition to both collections and jewelry.

This collection features hand-selected zircon specimens and cut stones, valued for their clarity, age significance, and natural brilliance.
