===== Magical Uses =====
This is a somewhat confusing stone. It is found in many colors, but some of them have been artificially produced. It is known by various names. All have magical qualities.

Clear (or white) zircon: A magical substitute for diamond, it is worn for protection. Use for clear thinking and to promote mental processes. *A curious ritual:* Kiss a white or clear zircon. If you are chaste (celibate), the stone will stay clear. If not, it will turn black.

Yellow zircon (jargon, jargoon, ligure): Wear to increase sexual energy or to attract love. Carry to drive away depression, to increase alertness, and for business success.

Orange zircon (jacinth, hyacinth): Wear to increase beauty and to still fears and jealousy. Carried during travel, it guards against injury. Worn or placed in the home, it safeguards against theft; so keep an orange zircon with valuables. Set in gold, it is doubly powerful.

Red zircon (hyacinth): This stone increases riches if worn or used in such rituals. It also guards against injuries. A protective stone, it vitalizes the body, lends energy in times of physical stress, and heals. Worn, it draws pain from the body.

Brown zircon (malacon): Use for grounding and centering. Brown zircon is employed in wealth and money spells.

Green zircon: Green zircons are used in money spells.</ifauth>
