1.97 Ct. Zircon from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

Millions of years ago, deep within the Earth's crust, geological processes began a captivating transformation that would eventually yield a gemstone both rare and extraordinary. Among the masterpieces crafted by nature was the greenish blue zircon, a testament to the wondrous interplay of geological forces and mineral compositions. The zircon under discussion, weighing 1.97 carats, exhibits not only an exquisite cushion shape but also captivating dimensions of 6.71 x 6.42 x 4.28 mm. It exemplifies the powerful aesthetics forged within the Earth’s depths showcasing a unique and vivid interplay of minerals manifesting as an intense color intensity that differentiates it from ordinary gemstones.

Formed from the fusion of heat and pressure over millennia, zircon crystals started to develop through the gradual cooling of molten rock. This process facilitated the growth of structured lattices that introduced exceptional clarity and brilliance to the gemstone. The greenish blue zircon's mixed brilliant cut further enhances its inherent optical properties, ensuring that light interaction occurs at an optimum level. Such a cut produces a scintillating effect that captivates the observer's attention, rewarding them with a symphony of refracted hues that play across its surface and reveals the ancient and intricate journey concealed within the stone's crystalline heart.

The zircon embodies a clarity grade categorized as very slightly included when evaluated at eye level, reflecting the meticulous natural processes that took place over geological time spans. This denotes that the stone exhibits minimal inclusions, which bore witness to its incredible journey while maintaining the integrity of its visual transparency. The exceptional polish applied to this zircon further accentuates its luster, providing a smooth and flawless surface that invites admiration and reflects the precise artistry involved, synonymous with The Natural Gemstone Company's commitment to quality and craftsmanship.
