2.31 Ct. Zircon from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

Nestled in the heart of Ceylon, known today as Sri Lanka, this magnificent 2.31 carat cushion-shaped brownish-orange zircon epitomizes the timeless allure and storied heritage of gemstones. Revered through the ages, zircon boasts a rich history that dates back to ancient times. Its name, derived from the Persian word 'zargun' meaning 'gold-colored,' is a true testament to its enduring appeal. Our zircon, nearly flawless with its very slightly included clarity grade, captures this legacy exquisitely, offering both aesthetic beauty and a glimpse into the earth's ancient yet enduring organic design.

This particular gemstone from The Natural Gemstone Company transcends eras with its medium intense hue, perfectly crafted in a mixed brilliant cut. Such a design, based on geometric faceting, serves to maximize the stone's capacity for light play. As light dances across each precisely calculated facet, a captivating brilliance emerges. This dance of light within the zircon's depths is reminiscent of the way history reverberates through time, reflecting both past and present in a single frame of vivid, refracted color. The excellent polish further enhances this effect, ensuring a mirror-like finish where light freely glides, invigorating the natural intrigue and splendor inherent to this ancient stone.

The cushion shape of this zircon indulges in a classic design that has been cherished for centuries, making it a timeless addition to any jewelry collection. Its dimensions measuring 7.95 x 6.39 x 3.78 mm deliver an elegant yet robust presence. A vintage appeal coupled with modern brilliance renders this gemstone an heirloom of sorts, a piece that can both celebrate individual milestones and connect its beholder to a lineage of long-standing tradition. At The Natural Gemstone Company, we honor this historical continuum. We offer not just gemstones, but pieces enriched with the legacy of times gone by, assuring the timeless elegance of your lineage for generations to come.
