1.17 Ct. Zircon from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

Presenting a rare and exquisite white zircon offered by The Natural Gemstone Company, a single, transparent 1.17 carat round gem, precisely measured at 5.90 by 5.92 by 3.92 mm. This stone is masterfully fashioned with a mixed brilliant cut that captures light with vivid brilliance and scintillation, reflecting an almost diamond like fire while maintaining its unique zircon character. Its clarity is graded as very slightly included when evaluated at eye level, which means the inclusions are minimal and do not detract from the gem clarity to most observers, preserving a pure, colorless presentation with an excellent polish that enhances every facet and angle. Sourced from Ceylon, Sri Lanka, this white zircon is entirely natural, with no enhancement applied, offering collectors and connoisseurs the assurance of authenticity and geological provenance that distinguishes elite gemstones from mass market alternatives.

For those who prioritize both beauty and practical wearability, this white zircon offers appealing durability, while also requiring mindful handling. Zircon typically rates between 6.5 and 7.5 on the Mohs hardness scale, which positions it substantially harder than common glass and many organic stones, and within range of quartz. By comparison, diamond rates 10 and sapphire or ruby rate 9 on the Mohs scale, so while zircon will resist daily scuffs better than softer materials, it is not as impervious as the hardest gemstones. The exceptional polish of this stone provides a durable surface finish, yet care should be taken to avoid hard knocks and extreme heat, which can affect zircon stability. Owning this gem is an invitation to be among a select few, a discerning owner who appreciates the combination of natural rarity, superior cut quality, and a documented origin. The Natural Gemstone Company prides itself on offering such singular pieces, each presented as a limited opportunity to secure a gemstone that is as collectible as it is beautiful. If you are seeking a centerpiece that blends elegant sparkle with genuine rarity, this white zircon offers a refined choice for a bespoke setting, and our team stands ready to assist with exclusive mounting and personalized service.
