Zircon is a nesosilicate mineral, known for its exceptional hardness and durability. It is a very dense mineral with a specific gravity ranging from 3.90 to 4.73 g/cm3, meaning that it's notably heavier than quartz at 2.65 g/cm3, and even slightly heavier than diamond 3.52 g/cm3. Zircon's high refractive index and dispersion give it a brilliance comparable to diamond, making it a sought-after gemstone in various colors.

Zircon is the birthstone for December.
