Here is a beautiful Zircon! This gem has a lovely rich orange color with bright orange flashes! The clarity of the stone has good clarity with only one micro inclusion. It flashes beautifully in the hand. The cut is an scintillating Asscher that is stunning in Zircon. You can see the classic birefringence (facet doubling) that Zircon displays in the photos. Zircon is often confused with cubic zirconia. However, Zircon is a natural mineral and chemically is zirconium orthosilicate. This stone will make an excellent piece of jewelry, particularly a center stone for a ring or pendant! Enjoy!
