The story: long called “Matura diamond”, zircon is often substituted for diamond whose brilliance it borrows. On the other hand, its hardness is less since it is between 6.5 and 7.5 on the Mohs scale. The diamond with legendary hardness is at the top of the scale, at 10. Often known in their colorless version, zircons are actually available in a wide range of colors ranging from pink to green through canary yellow. As one of the birthstones of the month of December, in the Middle Ages, zircon was believed to have the virtue of bringing honor, wealth and wisdom.
