Zircon
Zircon (not to be confused with the inexpensive synthetic, cubic zirconia), is one of the most brilliant and fiery natural gemstones due to its high dispersion (which is what causes the colored flashes in diamond). It is the traditional birthstone for December. It is a relatively affordable gemstone and comes in a wide variety of colors, but blue is the most common. Although it is a hard stone, the facets can abrade so it should be worn with care.
