Certified Natural White Zircon
White Zircon is a mineral that belongs to the group of neosilicates. Its chemical name is zirconium silicate, and its chemical formula is ZrSiO4. White Zircon occurs in igneous, metamorphic, and sedimentary rocks and is also a common constituent of sand deposits. Natural Zircon can undergo modification through intense radiation damage, and some Zircon contains significant amounts of uranium and thorium.
Zircon occurs in many varieties and colors, but colorless White Zircon is among the most popular forms in gemology. Its name is derived from the Persian word “Zargun,” meaning gold-colored. Because of its brilliance, transparency, and attractive appearance, White Zircon is widely considered a natural alternative to Diamond.
White Zircon is also used in industrial applications, particularly in the ceramic industry, because of its high refractoriness. In gemology, it has gained considerable importance as a naturally occurring gemstone. Zircon can occur in brown, yellow, orange, red, green, and other attractive shades.
White Zircon is a brilliant and transparent gemstone. However, some consumers mistakenly believe that Zircon is always synthetic or artificial. It is therefore important to understand the difference between natural Zircon and synthetic or imitation stones. Sri Lanka has been an important source of gem-quality Zircon for hundreds of years. Natural Zircon is also found in Australia, Brazil, Cambodia, France, Myanmar, Thailand, Tanzania, and Vietnam.

Pran Pratishtha and Energization of White Zircon
All gemstones are traditionally energized through Pran Pratishtha before being sent to clients by special Pundits and Purohits with knowledge of Vedic traditions.
An auspicious day and Nakshatra are selected according to the client’s name, date of birth, and place of birth.
A mat is placed facing East, North, or North-East while performing the Pooja.
The gemstone is washed with holy Gangajal and Kum Kum is applied.
An incense stick is lit in front of the gemstone, and the relevant mantra is chanted along with marigold flowers according to the concerned gemstone.
The client’s name and date of birth are chanted by the Purohits while performing the energization process.
This completes the traditional Pran Pratishtha of the gemstone, after which the person can wear it directly as it has already been energized.
