The use of zircon for ornamentation, trade and other purposes dates back to Biblical times. During the Middle Ages, the stone was valued for its supposed ability to keep evil spirits away and promote wisdom and wealth. Later, during the Victorian era, zircon gained a devoted following of buyers who included it in jewellery and other ornamental pieces. In fact, the gem was a favourite for English estate jewellery, with a number of zircon pieces dating back to the 1800s.
The gemstone has also found a place among spiritual healers for its reported metaphysical properties.
Zircon is said to have great healing energy that can promote balance between a person’s physical, emotional and spiritual selves.
The gem is believed to help keep people grounded and to promote intuitive and psychic abilities, so it is frequently used during meditation.
Many believe that zircon can help a person’s dreams become reality, and that connecting with the stone physically and mentally can enhance visions and provide guidance and purpose.
