1.91 Ct. Zircon from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

Imagine holding a rare moment of geological history in the palm of your hand, a single transparent 1.91 carat pear shape brown zircon that carries within it the patient work of the earth, crafted over millions of years. This gem measures 8.21 x 6.45 x 4.21 mm, and it comes to you with a mixed brilliant cut that maximizes scintillation and internal light play while preserving the gem weight and elegant silhouette. The clarity grade is eye clean evaluated at eye level, the color intensity is vivid, and the polish is excellent. No enhancement has been applied to alter its natural state. Sourced from Ceylon Sri Lanka, this gemstone represents a lineage of fine zircons that are prized by collectors and connoisseurs, and it is offered by The Natural Gemstone Company as one of the rare pieces in our curated selection of natural treasures.

Long before it was shaped and faceted, this brown zircon began its story deep within the ancient crust beneath what is now Sri Lanka, at a time measured in millions of years. Under conditions of intense heat and pressure, mineral rich melts and fluids moved through rock, seeding zircon crystals that grew slowly and steadily. Zircon is uniquely resilient, able to lock in chemical signatures and to survive events that would destroy many other minerals. Trace elements incorporated into the crystal lattice during growth gave rise to the warm brown hue that distinguishes this stone, a color that hints at subtle variations in its chemistry and at the particular conditions of its birth. Over geological epochs, tectonic forces lifted these crystalline pockets toward the surface, and weathering released individual zircons into rivers and floodplains. There they were sorted by nature, the heavier, denser crystals settling in alluvial gravels, patiently waiting for the right eye to recognize their potential.

When the rough crystal that became this pear shape brown zircon was found in the rich alluvial gravels of Ceylon Sri Lanka, its potential was evident to experienced hands. The cutter selected a path that would honor the stone itself, preserving clarity and color while revealing internal life through a mixed brilliant cut designed to balance fiery dispersion with clean, elegant face up appearance. Careful planning retained 1.91 carat of weight and achieved precise dimensions of 8.21 x 6.45 x 4.21 mm so that the gem would sit with graceful proportion in a bespoke setting. The result is a gem with vivid color intensity and an excellent polish that allows light to enter and return with a lively, yet refined, personality. Because this stone is untreated, it carries an authenticity that is increasingly rare in the market, and its eye clean clarity means that at normal viewing distance the gem reads as pure and luminous, a quality that elevates it beyond ordinary finds.

To own this brown zircon is to join an exclusive circle of collectors who value provenance, natural origin, and impeccable craftsmanship. The Natural Gemstone Company presents this gem as a singular opportunity, a gem that connects you to the deep time of our planet and to the artisanal skill that transformed raw crystal into wearable art. Pieces of this caliber are never abundant, and because no enhancement has been applied, each feature you admire is original to the stone itself. Imagine a bespoke setting that frames the pear shape silhouette, a design that is created to complement the vivid brown hue and to showcase the mixed brilliant facets that catch the light with every small movement. For those who seek rarity, authenticity, and a story that spans millions of years, this transparent 1.91 carat pear shape brown zircon from Ceylon Sri Lanka stands as an invitation to own something truly exceptional.
