Zircon exhibits a brilliant luster, typically categorized as vitreous, which means it has a glass-like shine. This luster, combined with its high refractive index, contributes to zircon's ability to sparkle and reflect light effectively, making it a popular choice in jewelry. In some cases, zircons can also display a resinous or adamantine luster, depending on their specific cut and treatment.
