Here is a stunning Zircon! This gem has a gorgeous autumn orange color that is saturated and lovely. The clarity of the stone is excellent and flashes beautifully in hand. The stone displays a slight multi-color flash out in the sunlight. The cut is a brilliant heart that is stunning in Zircon. You can see the classic birefringence (facet doubling) that Zircon displays in the photos. Zircon has a bad rap because it is often confused by many as cubic zirconia. However, Zircon is a natural mineral, and chemically is zirconium orthosilicate. This stone is just waiting to be set into jewelry. This stone will look spectacular in a ring and be just breathtaking! Enjoy!
