Zircon is a stone of many colors -- red being the most prized. Blue Zircon is an igneous rock with hardness of 6-7.5, but can be brittle. It was used by many of the ancient civilizations as an amulet. As legend holds, a person who wears a blue zircon, "the Sailors and Travelers Stone," would be guaranteed a warm welcome everywhere, as well as be guarded from being hit by lightning, the plague, wounds and injuries. Because of its brilliance, it would expel evil spirits and provide good sleep. It was said to give great prudence and common sense and, therefore, financial success. We invite you to stop in and see our selection of loose and mounted blue zircons. Ralph Miller Jewelers is Erie's only manufacturing guild style store featuring many large size rare gems for collectors.
