✵ Bible ✵

Jacinth is mentioned one time in the King James Version of the Bible:

And thus I saw the horses in the vision, and them that sat on them, having breastplates of fire, and of jacinth, and brimstone: and the heads of the horses were as the heads of lions; and out of their mouths issued fire and smoke and brimstone. Revelation 9:17

Jacinth is mentioned three times in the New International Version:

. . . the third row shall be jacinth . . . Exodus 28:19

. . . the third row was jacinth . . . Exodus 39:12

. . . the eleventh jacinth . . . Revelation 21:20

✵ Cayce Readings ✵

Jacinth is not mentioned in the readings.

Hyacinth is mentioned two times in two documents.

One reading referenced Hyacinth as a street name; the other described hyacinth as a symbol. The symbolic reference probably relates to the term as it denotes the flower, a member of the lily family, which has ties to the Greek god Apollo:

Q: Please give my seal . . .

A: . . . On either side, at the top, would appear a bell; or the shape, as it were, of a bell from a hyacinth rather than a bell of a commercial thought or of such natures . . .

Zircon is mentioned one time in a letter written after Cayce’s death:

. . . whenever I saw a zircon with its bluish-greenish tints and I looked for the ’reddish’ spectrum I was seeking that contrast which in reality gave the stone some life, regardless of the art of the lapidarist . . .

More on Zircon

In the King James Version of the Bible, ligure is the stone named in place of the jacinth in Exodus. Modern geologists do not acknowledge the existence of any stone called ligure, but there is one called ligurite, which is a synonym for an extremely rare stone called titanite, containing the element titanium. Based on the rarity, I would imagine that a jacinth, which is a form of zircon, would be more likely to be a stone in the breastplate of the high priest.

These days you will find a large variety and many colors of zircons on the market, and they are priced based on the depth of their color. Many are from Asia.

The blue zircon is good for communication and helps primarily in the business sector rather than for interpersonal relationships. Blue zircon will give you eloquence in speech and allow your communication to be persuasive and effective, particularly if you are attempting to convince someone of your point of view. Zircon will benefit anyone in the communications professions and is also useful if you are in sales.

Red or brown varieties of zircon are called either jacinth or hyacinth. These colors can provide grounding, help prevent food poisoning, alleviate symptoms of food poisoning such as a stomachache, or assist with other digestive issues.

In general, zircon protects you and your belongings from accidents, bad storms, floods, or hail damage. By belongings, I mean your home and car. Placing a piece of zircon in the glove compartment of the car will prevent theft.

Prized in India, zircon is believed to bring success and material abundance, protect a person from poison, and create the energy of honor and wisdom.

If you need more material success in your life, especially related to your personal efforts in the business community, zircon is the gem for you.
