3.71 Ct. Zircon from Madagascar

There are certain gemstones that carry with them not only beauty, but a lineage that reaches back through centuries of collectors, artisans, and admirers. This oval blue zircon, weighing 3.71 carat, is one such treasure. Its transparent body reveals an intense blue that seems to capture the clarity of a morning sea and the cool tranquility of a clear sky. Cut in a mixed brilliant style, the stone measures 9.09 by 7.06 by 5.68 mm, and the facets have been honed to an excellent polish that allows light to dance through the gem with remarkable fire and brilliance. Sourced from the mineral rich lands of Madagascar, this zircon carries the provenance of a storied terrain where nature has created jewels of exceptional character. The Natural Gemstone Company is proud to present this stone as an embodiment of enduring elegance, a gem that reflects both geological history and the timeless craft of the cutter.

Rarity in gemstones is measured by many standards, yet few pieces combine both uncommon size and rare color as this zircon does. Blue zircons of intense saturation and this weight are uncommon in the global market. Many blue zircons are smaller, or present in paler hues that lack the vivid depth that collectors seek. This 3.71 carat oval stands apart, its intense color intensity giving it a presence that larger gemstones often do not achieve when the color is weak or diluted. The clarity grade of very slightly included evaluated at eye level means that the gem reads as clean and bright to the viewer, while still retaining the natural fingerprint that attests to its authenticity. The mixed brilliant cut enhances the stone, focusing light return and maximizing scintillation, and the excellent polish completes a presentation that rivals more commonly known legacy gems.

This blue zircon is heat treated, a stable and accepted enhancement that brings out the most desirable hue, while preserving the natural structure and integrity of the stone. Heat treatment is an established practice across the history of gem cutting, used to reveal the latent color held within the mineral. Even with enhancement, this specimen remains a rare find because of its combined dimensions, color intensity, and clarity. For those who appreciate classical design, this oval shape adapts beautifully to traditional settings that emphasize legacy and restraint. Envision it set as the centerpiece of a solitary ring with a fine millgrain bezel, or as a refined pendant suspended from a simple chain that allows the gem to speak for itself. The gem also lends itself to period inspired settings where careful metalwork frames the stone, creating a piece that looks as though it has been treasured for generations.
