2.45 Ct. Zircon from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

The Natural Gemstone Company is pleased to present an exquisite example of natural beauty—a transparent 2.45 carat cushion-shaped brown zircon. This gemstone, with dimensions of 7.17 x 7.01 x 4.24 mm, is a distinguished specimen originating from the renowned gem fields of Ceylon, also known as Sri Lanka. Known for their historical and geological significance, Ceylon’s rich gem-bearing gravels have produced some of the most compelling natural stones, underscoring the rarity and premium quality of this zircon.

Characterized by a mixed brilliant cut, this zircon displays a captivating play of light and brilliance synonymous with expertly faceted gemstones. Its clarity has been evaluated at eye level and is graded as very slightly included, meaning any inclusions present are not visible to the naked eye, preserving the gem’s overall appeal and value. The medium intense color intensity further accentuates the gem's rich brown hue, striking a harmonious balance that enhances its aesthetic allure. An excellent polish ensures the surface finishes with a mirror-like luster, allowing the gemstone to fully exhibit its unique characteristics.

When comparing natural zircon to lab-grown gemstones, one can appreciate the intrinsic qualities that only naturally formed stones can provide. The geological processes over millions of years not only imbue natural stones with heirloom-level craftsmanship but also with attributes of individuality and uniqueness. Each natural zircon carries a distinct signature of its formation environment, an aspect that machine and human precision in laboratories cannot replicate. The uniqueness of origin and history adds an element of exclusivity, making each natural gemstone from The Natural Gemstone Company truly one of a kind.

Natural stones also offer storied rich provenance, tying the allure of gemstones to the cultural and historical facets of their locations. For this brown zircon, its origins from Ceylon offer an enchanting narrative of discovery and tradition. Furthermore, natural gemstones such as zircon are sought after for their inherent durability and majority composition of the Earth’s mineral wealth, ensuring natural resilience and intrinsic value retention. The precious journey from mine to market is a testament to the sustainable practices and craftsmanship that come together to present an extraordinary gemstone. At The Natural Gemstone Company, we take pride in preserving this journey, bringing you gems that reflect the true essence of nature’s artistry.
