When it comes to selecting a gemstone that boasts both beauty and durability, the greenish blue zircon from The Natural Gemstone Company stands out as a superior choice. Unlike many other gemstones on the market, this exquisite zircon is more than just a striking accessory. With its impressive hardness on the Mohs scale, it offers exceptional resilience and longevity. While many customers might initially consider options such as topaz or aquamarine for their similar color range, they often don't realize that zircon surpasses these stones in durability. On the Mohs scale, zircon typically rates around 7.5, making it decidedly harder than topaz, and just shy of aquamarine, which ranks at 8. However, what zircon provides is a unique blend of strength and vivid visual appeal, combining robust molecular structure with eye-catching color brilliance.
Gemologists and jewelry enthusiasts alike appreciate our zircon for its remarkable clarity and color intensity, placing it a cut above its competitors. This specific 1.88-carat cushion-shaped zircon, sourced from the renowned gemstone region of Ceylon, marries tradition with excellence in craft. Due to its origin, the stone carries with it a pedigree of high-quality materials, a well-regarded mark of authenticity, and purity that is spontaneously recognized in the gemstone community. As many aficionados know, Sri Lanka is celebrated for producing some of the finest zircons available on the market, often characterized by their pure and rich hues as well as their transparency. This source guarantees that our product does not just promise beauty, but also a profound heritage of expert gemstone cultivation and respect for artisanal measures.
Often compared to both diamond and cubic zirconia, the fiery brilliance of our zircon holds its own because it showcases a refractive index that is notably higher than many stones. Its mixed brilliant cut is devised to maximize this brilliance, endowing the gemstone with a captivating sparkle that is unmatched in its price segment. This brilliant-cut evokes a vivid sense of lustrous light performance, comparable to that of a more premium diamond. What's more, zircon maintains its allure with an excellent eye-clean clarity grade as opposed to other gemstones that may sacrifice clarity for size or color. Observed at eye level, this clarity means there are no visible inclusions, and this characteristic provides a high value of transparency that rivals even costlier alternatives like sapphire and emerald.
At The Natural Gemstone Company, we strive to provide the best gemstones that not only capture the eye but also retain lasting elegance. Opting for our greenish blue zircon means securing a gemstone that is both fashionable and timeless. Other gemstones might require more cautious handling due to fragility or equally priced stones may lack the same powerful color intensity and precise polish. Here, polished to an impeccable finish, the zircon's surface radiates with an excellent polish grade, exposing its sheen after multiple independent facets catch and reflect light. Designed for those who seek not only to possess a source of beauty but also to invest in durable excellence, our zircon is more than a gemstone; it is a testament to natural splendor, precision craftsmanship, and enduring value. Whether set in an engagement ring, pendant, or bracelet, its alluring hue and quality assurance render it an heirloom piece designed to captivate hearts for generations to come.
