Here is a stunning Zircon! This gem has a bright orange color with peach highlights! The clarity of the stone is excellent and flashes beautifully in the hand. The cut is an elegant step kite shape 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! Enjoy!
