1.90 Ct. Zircon from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

This exceptional, one of a kind 1.90 carat greenish yellow zircon from Ceylon, Sri Lanka, is a rare find that will appeal to collectors and connoisseurs who demand authenticity and distinction. Cut into a precisely faceted radiant shape with dimensions of 6.83 x 6.02 x 4.23 mm, this transparent gem presents a medium color intensity that balances warm golden notes with a refined green undertone. Graded eye clean at normal viewing distance, with an excellent polish and absolutely no enhancement, this zircon retains its natural character and clarity, a trait increasingly scarce in today’s market. The radiant cut was chosen to maximize internal reflection and controlled scintillation, producing flashes of light across the table and pavillion that change with every angle, and the stone’s measured proportions make it equally captivating in solitaire rings or bespoke settings reserved for elite commissions.

When compared to other gemstones in its category, this Ceylon zircon stands apart for its optical dynamism. Zircon is known for a higher refractive index and notable dispersion relative to many common yellow and green gemstones, which translates into sharper brilliance and pronounced fire that can often rival that of much more expensive stones. Against classic yellow sapphire, citrine, or peridot, this zircon displays crisper facet-to-facet reflection and a livelier play of colored flashes, while remaining more restrained than the synthetic high dispersion of cubic zirconia, offering instead a naturally occurring, nuanced radiance. Unlike many zircons that are heat treated to enhance tone, this unenhanced specimen preserves its authentic luminosity, making its reflective qualities more coveted and rarer. At The Natural Gemstone Company we curate such distinctive pieces sparingly, ensuring that ownership conveys membership in an exclusive circle of discerning collectors, those who recognize provenance, natural integrity, and exceptional optical performance, and who appreciate a gemstone worthy of a bespoke setting and lifelong admiration.
