2.06 Ct. Zircon from Cambodia

This exceptional white zircon represents a rare opportunity for collectors and connoisseurs who demand both size and optical purity, and it is offered exclusively through The Natural Gemstone Company, one of the few specialists with direct access to premium Cambodian zircon. This transparent 2.06 carat round shape gem measures 7.48 x 7.45 x 4.50 mm, and has been masterfully fashioned with a mixed brilliant cut to marry scintillation and fire in proportions that are seldom seen in stones of this species. The combination of a significant 2.06 carat weight with such precisely controlled dimensions places this stone in a niche class, larger than the typical white zircons that appear on the market, and with proportions that allow light to travel and reflect with an almost rarefied intensity. Acquiring this gem is to join a small circle of owners who appreciate that exceptional weight and superb cutting are not a common pairing in white zircon, and that when they do align the result is a jewel of unmistakable presence.

Color and clarity define the character of a white zircon, and this example is noteworthy for being near colorless and eye clean when evaluated at eye level, characteristics that elevate it above most comparable zircons which often show stronger tints or visible inclusions. Near colorless is a tonal range that allows the stone to read with the cool purity of high quality colorless gems, and an eye clean clarity grade means the surface and interior remain free of distracting elements to the unaided eye, so the observer experiences uninterrupted brilliance. The gem has undergone a careful heat treatment, a stable and widely accepted enhancement that refines color and optimizes the visual harmony of the crystal lattice without compromising its natural origin. Origin matters to true collectors, and this zircon comes from Cambodia, a source known among insiders for producing specimens with fine crystalline clarity and a luminous character, making this piece both geographically and physically distinct from the more commonly sourced material.

The mixed brilliant cut and excellent polish work together to create a performance in light that is both lively and refined, with a balance of broad flashes and fine scintillation that make the stone captivate in motion and repose. A mixed brilliant pavilion preserves depth and return of light, while the facet design on the crown maximizes dispersion so that subtle spectral color is visible against a near colorless body, an effect that is at once elegant and dramatic in intimate viewing. Because large, near colorless, eye clean white zircons with top grade polish are so seldom available, this stone lends itself to bespoke settings that highlight its unique virtues, settings such as a solitaire in platinum that isolates the gem for maximum optical impact, or a halo design with warm metal accents that create a gentle contrast enhancing the stone core. The rarity of this piece means that it is ideal for commission work and one off creations, and our craftsmen at The Natural Gemstone Company are prepared to advise on mounting options that will both secure and showcase this exceptional zircon.

Owning this white zircon is an opportunity to possess a gem that is special in scale, special in purity, and special in provenance, and offers a quietly exclusive statement for collectors who prefer rarity over ubiquity. The Natural Gemstone Company stands behind each offering with careful evaluation by our gem specialists, provenance notes regarding Cambodian origin, and a commitment to sourcing that respects both local communities and the integrity of the stone. Because stones of this precise combination of weight, near colorless tone, and eye clean clarity are seldom encountered, this piece will appeal to those who collect singular items that retain their uniqueness over time. If you seek a white zircon that reads as refined and noteworthy while remaining distinctly rare in the marketplace, this 2.06 carat round from Cambodia is a choice that promises distinction, and we invite you to contact The Natural Gemstone Company to arrange a private viewing or bespoke setting consultation.
