1.27 Ct. White Zircon from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

From the riverbeds of Ceylon Sri Lanka to the light filled counters of The Natural Gemstone Company, this white zircon carries the quiet story of its origin and the care of many hands. Discovered in alluvial gravels by experienced miners, this transparent round gem was selected for its pure colorless hue and rare clarity. Weighing 1.27 carat and measuring 5.91 x 5.90 x 4.27 mm, it was entrusted to skilled lapidaries who gave it a mixed brilliant cut and an excellent polish to reveal its inner fire. Evaluated at eye level the clarity is very slightly included, and because it is natural with no enhancement, every facet tells the true geological tale of heat and pressure that formed it deep in the earth. The result is a stone that sparkles with crisp brilliance and lively dispersion, a timeless centerpiece that reads as both elegant and earthy in equal measure.

Beyond its beauty, this white zircon was prepared with daily wear in mind. Zircon typically registers around 6.5 to 7.5 on the Mohs hardness scale, and this specimen combines that solid surface hardness with a superb polish to resist everyday abrasion. To ensure long lasting wear and to protect its delicate internal structure, we recommend a secure setting such as a classic bezel or confident prong mount, and routine inspections to keep the mounting snug. Avoiding extreme heat and harsh chemicals will preserve its untreated perfection, and gentle cleaning with warm soapy water will maintain its sparkle. When set with care this 1.27 carat mixed brilliant round zircon becomes an ideal choice for an engagement or everyday ring, a pendant to be worn close to the heart, or a pair of refined earrings. For a custom setting that honors the stone and its Ceylon origin, The Natural Gemstone Company is ready to guide you through choices that balance beauty and protection, ensuring this natural treasure accompanies you for years to come.
