4.34 Ct. Zircon from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

The Natural Gemstone Company invites you to fall in love with a treasure that feels as if it were found just for you, a luminous greenish yellow zircon weighing 4.34 carat, a gem that radiates warmth and wonder. Imagine holding an oval shaped jewel whose proportions of 10.26 by 7.35 by 5.53 mm sit perfectly between presence and grace, a stone that catches light and holds memory. The mixed brilliant cut scatters fire across every movement, creating a heartbeat of sparkle that will make moments feel sacred. This is more than a gem, it is a promise of celebration, a gift that will mark anniversaries, new beginnings, and quiet evenings with the same tender glow. When you place this zircon in a ring, pendant, or pair of earrings, you are giving someone the kind of joy that becomes a story to tell again and again, a keepsake that carries meaning beyond words.

The visual qualities of this Ceylon, Sri Lanka zircon are a rare harmony of clarity and color, with a clarity grade of very slightly included, evaluated at eye level, and a medium intense color intensity that reads as fresh, optimistic, and unmistakably alive. The excellent polish allows each facet of the mixed brilliant cut to sing, revealing flashes of yellow, green, and honey as the stone moves. Because this gem has received no enhancement, you are wearing a piece of the earth exactly as it emerged, a natural expression of Ceylon geology and light. The origins from Ceylon speak to a legacy of classic gemstone character, and the natural, unenhanced state is the highest compliment to a connoisseur who values authenticity. Picture a close friend opening a small box and seeing this greenish yellow oval for the first time, eyes widening, breath catching, the moment transforming into a living, luminous memory. That is what this zircon offers, a tangible expression of love that becomes a lifetime keepsake.

When thinking of durability and everyday wear, it is important to consider hardness on the Mohs scale, and zircon typically ranges from 6.5 to 7.5 on that scale, with fine natural examples like this Ceylon stone often residing in the upper end near 7.5, which makes it substantially hard and resistant to scratches from most household materials. To give perspective, diamond is 10 and corundum, which includes sapphire and ruby, is 9, so zircon does not rival those stones in hardness, but it is tougher than quartz at 7, and it offers exceptional brilliance and fire that many find irresistible. Because zircon can exhibit natural cleavage, meaning it can be more brittle than some other gems, we recommend protective settings such as a bezel or a raised halo design for rings, and gentle handling during high impact activities. For cleaning, warm soapy water and a soft brush will keep its sparkle at peak, and avoid sudden temperature shocks, harsh chemicals, or vigorous ultrasonic cleaning to preserve its natural beauty. At The Natural Gemstone Company we aspire to match you with a gem that brings joy, that celebrates milestones, and that feels unmistakably yours, and this 4.34 carat oval greenish yellow zircon is crafted by nature to give moments of wonder, love, and radiant delight for years to come.
