Zircon is mined all over the world, with notable sources in the United States, Brazil, Burma, Cambodia, Australia, Madagascar, Sri Lanka, Thailand, and Nigeria. At over 4 billion years old, Zircon is one of the oldest minerals on Earth. Like the rings of a tree, it can grow in layers, recording geological history within its structure. This natural, semi-precious gemstone is a more affordable alternative to diamond, though it is often confused with cubic zirconia, a synthetic, man-made stone.
 
In ancient texts, Hyacinth—a name mentioned multiple times in the Bible—is believed to refer to Zircon. It was one of the twelve "stones of fire" set into Aaron’s breastplate. During the Middle Ages, Zircon was valued for its protective and calming properties, said to ward off evil, attract wealth, and serve as a talisman for safe travel. Today, Zircon is used to support meditation, stimulate the chakras, ground energy, and protect against negativity. Many also believe it helps connect to divine guidance and enhance spiritual clarity.
 
Mother of Pearl is a lustrous mineral found lining the inside of oyster shells, composed of aragonite and the protein conchiolin, intricately formed by the mollusk. It rose to popularity during the Ming Dynasty in China, where it was used to adorn furniture, clothing, and accessories. In Chinese culture, it is believed to attract prosperity, good fortune, and success.
 
Native American tribes also valued Mother of Pearl, associating it with feminine energy and the moon, viewing it as a symbol of intuition and emotional depth. Though less common today, Mother of Pearl is still used in jewelry, buttons, decorative arts, and furniture inlay, admired for its elegant shimmer and symbolism of luxury. Metaphysically, it is said to help soothe stress and anxiety, promote emotional healing, and attract abundance.
