1.07 Ct. White Zircon from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

This transparent 1.07 carat round white zircon is an exceptional example of Sri Lankan gem material, sourced from Ceylon, Sri Lanka, and presented by The Natural Gemstone Company. The gem measures 5.85 by 5.74 by 3.57 millimeters, and it has been expertly faceted in a mixed brilliant cutting style, producing a lively balance of brilliance and fire. The clarity is graded as very slightly included, evaluated at eye level, which means the stone will appear essentially eye clean to most observers while retaining natural internal character on close inspection. The color intensity is colorless, delivering a pure, neutral appearance that allows maximum light return and colorless sparkle. The polish is excellent, contributing to crisp facet junctions and unhindered reflection. The stone has received a controlled heat treatment to enhance stability and optical performance, a well established and accepted enhancement in zircon of this quality.

The mixed brilliant cut used for this round zircon is designed to enhance the intrinsic optical properties of zircon, including its notable refractive characteristics and dispersion. By combining facet geometries that maximize both white light return and spectral flashes, the cutter has optimized crown and pavilion relationships to promote lively scintillation and pronounced fire. The slightly differing girdle dimensions across the diameter indicate careful attention to weight retention while maintaining proportionate depth, and the 3.57 millimeter depth contributes to strong internal reflections without sacrificing spread. Excellent polish ensures that light meets and exits facets with minimal scattering, while the very slightly included clarity allows light paths to remain largely unobstructed, producing clean, bright performance even under close viewing. For the informed buyer, these factors translate into a gem that reads as technically well made, visually refined, and materially honest. This zircon is an attractive option for collectors and jewellers seeking a high quality colorless stone with notable brilliance and fire, suitable for engagement rings, classic solitaires, and bespoke designs. The Natural Gemstone Company stands behind the provenance and treatment disclosure of this zircon, offering a piece that is both beautiful and transparently described for the educated buyer.
