Here is a stunning Zircon! This gem has a gorgeous rose pink color that has a brilliant silvery quality. This color is one of the most sought after and is just enchanting in person. The clarity of this stone is quite good and has an intriguing inclusion. There is a micro black pirametal crystal near the table that appears to be an Anatase. This is an interesting inclusion for Zircon and makes it a nice collector’s inclusion gem as well as being very pretty. The stones display some multi-color flash out in the sunlight. The cut is a pear shape that glitters beautifully in hand. 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 will make an excellent piece of jewelry, particularly a drop pendant! Enjoy!
