 Zircon is sometimes confused with the artificial diamond-type simulant cubic zirconia (or CZ).

 Zircon can make a very attractive gemstone.  It is found in reddish-browns and greens, but can be heat- treated to beautiful blue and golden colours.  Colourless material is produced in this way as well.

 As a mineral specimen, zircon is uncommon in most crystal shops because attractive specimens are rare.  However, fine specimens of well-shaped zircons are available and are in demand.  The typical simple crystal of zircon is a tetragonal prism terminated with four-sided pyramids at each end.  The prism may be lacking and the crystal can look octahedral.  More complex crystals have faces of a less steeply inclined prism that taper towards the terminations.  Also, a secondary prism may truncate the primary prism by cutting off its edges and producing an octagonal cross-section through the crystal.  There is even an eight-sided pyramid (actually a ditetragonal bi-pyramid) that may modify the four-sided pyramids.  Hyacinth or jacinth only refers to the reddish-brown varieties of zircon.

 The reddish-brown zircon is very grounding, helping you to cope with your physical needs and basic human survival mechanism. It can connect you to ancient knowledge and wisdom.  It is used in body layouts and meditation to fully activate not only the base chakra, but also the feet chakras and the earth star chakra beneath the feet.  Its fiery force bums away blocks and negative energies that may have lodged in the base chakra.

It has also activated Kundalini movement, where this has been appropriate and desirable.  Zircon has been used on the knees, ankles and feet to promote flexibility and movement.  It loosens rigid patterns of dis-ease that may have lodged in these energy centres.  It is very warming to the hands and feet.

Zircon’s energy is solid, reliable and caring.  It is down to earth; it helps you to understand the positive force of gravity, of being grounded, aware and energetically focused in the moment.  It also stops mental lethargy, ‘spaciness’ and an unfocused mind.  It is helpful for those who are incapable of stillness, or who have difficulty achieving their goals.  It stops neediness and fearful or self-destructive behaviour patterns.  It has also been used to relieve the symptoms of osteoarthritis and other skeletal disorders.  It can activate and stimulate the adrenals.   

Because zircon’s energy is so earthing it can give a beautiful cloak of security and it teaches you

the way of healing with the earth’s energy field.  It also may be used to link into the past - your 

earliest experiences, including the extent to which your basic needs were met, or not, when you 

were an infant, are recorded and stored in the root chakra.  Psychologists say that babies fed “on 

demand” learn to trust their needs will be met.  These individuals go through life expecting thesame 

and are rarely disappointed.  Babies left to cry “till feeding time” learn to distrust and expect and 

accept disappointments, believing they do not deserve their needs to be met.  This can affect them

for the rest of their lives.  This psychological theory ties in completely with the ‘Universal Law of 

Resonance’.  So if you have a lack or disappointment energy field you will attract even more of the 

same!  Zircon can, with conscious attunement, release these hidden blockages from the root 

chakra.

  Affirmation:  I now energize my earth star chakra; this activates my Divine matrix within the Earth’s planetary grid.  This will anchor my Divine presence on Earth.
