1.13 Ct. White Zircon from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

This transparent white zircon weighs 1.13 carat and is cut to a round outline with precise dimensions of 5.85 x 5.96 x 3.77 mm, making it well suited for a single stone setting. The gem presents a mixed brilliant cut that combines a table and crown faceting scheme with a carefully proportioned pavilion to promote controlled light return, scintillation, and contrast. At eye level the clarity is graded as very slightly included, with only minor inclusions that do not interfere with overall transparency or visual performance. The color intensity is colorless, yielding a clear and neutral appearance that enhances reflectivity and pairs well with white gold, platinum, or silver settings. The polish is excellent, and the stone is natural with no enhancement, preserving its inherent optical characteristics and structural integrity.

The origin of this zircon, Ceylon Sri Lanka, adds both historical and market significance to the piece. Sri Lanka has a long standing reputation as a source of gem quality zircons, producing crystals that are prized for their clarity and strong light performance. Provenance from this region often increases collector interest because of documented localities and a traceable supply history, qualities that are particularly relevant for untreated material. Beyond provenance, zircon is notable for a relatively high refractive index and appreciable dispersion, properties that contribute to a lively mix of brilliance and fire when well cut, and this specimen exemplifies those attributes under balanced faceting. At The Natural Gemstone Company we provide objective measurements and transparent reporting on origin, cut, clarity, color, polish, and enhancement status, to support informed selection and responsible acquisition. This white zircon functions effectively as an elegant center stone, a refined accent gem, or a catalog specimen for collectors seeking a naturally occurring, untreated gem with documented Ceylon origin. Careful setting and avoidance of high heat will preserve its optical qualities and long term appearance.
