  • Description

    Zircon is valued for its brilliance, fire (the ability to disperse light into its spectral colors), and high refractive index, which gives it excellent sparkle and shine. It's often used as a gemstone in jewelry, particularly as a substitute for diamond due to its similar appearance.
    In Sri Lanka, zircon is commonly found in gem gravels, particularly in alluvial deposits, which are deposits formed by the action of rivers and streams. These deposits often contain a mix of gemstones, including zircon, sapphire, ruby, and others. Traditional mining methods, such as panning and hand sorting, are still used in some areas to extract zircon and other gemstones from these deposits.
