the Middle Ages, zircon was thought to induce sleep, promote
riches, honor, wisdom, and drive away plaques and evil spirits.
Hindu poets as having leaves of zircons described the Kalpa

blue Zircon was widely used in Victorian Jewelry. Antique shops
are a large source of finding Zircon in 5 carats and
