I just got home from Cambodia and had the pleasure of visiting the area that is famous for Blue Zircons. When shopping for a stone that has a high refractive index such a Zircon it is handy to remember to notice the doubling on the back facets as this will make you more sure you are getting a Zircon rather than a simulant. You can see numerous examples of this doubling in this photo. Best regards, Lee
