Zircon
Zircon (zirconium silicate) can be identified by its small, pyramid-shaped crystals that may
be colourless, gray, yellow, green, red, or brown. This fairly common mineral occurs mainly
in igneous and metamorphic rock environments. Some places that zircon is found are Australia
and Sri Lanka. Quality zircon is used as a gemstone. Zircon is the birthstone for December.
