In the Middle Ages, zircon was believed to possess mystical powers, thought to induce sound sleep, ward off evil spirits, and bring riches, honor, and wisdom; and the name "zircon" has intriguing origins, with many scholars suggesting it comes from the Arabic word "zarkun," meaning "cinnabar" or "vermilion."
