Zircon:
Zircon is the birthstone for the month of December. Zircon is often used as Diamond substitute because Zircon has such an incredibly strong brilliance that easily matches that of Diamonds. Many confuse Zircon with Cubic Zircon, which is not entirely fair. Cubic Zircon is an inexpensive, synthetic stone. The only equality with a natural, genuine Zircon is the name similarity and the color.
The most important things you should look at when buying a Zircon how intense the color and brilliance are. You should also look for Zircon stones that have a perfect clarity without inclusions.
