6.85 Ct. Zircon from Cambodia

From the riverbeds of Cambodia to the careful hands in our workshop, this 6.85 carat round shape yellowish brown zircon tells a story of earth, skill, and time, the kind of story that resonates when you hold a gem fashioned by nature and refined by human mastery. Born in ancient alluvial deposits, this zircon carried within it the slow heat and pressure of the earth, and a warm, intense color that the local miners have long admired, color that speaks of late afternoon light and polished teak. At The Natural Gemstone Company we honor that origin by sharing not only the measurements, 10.52 by 10.67 by 7.25 mm, but the journey, from extraction to evaluation, ensuring no enhancement, natural beauty preserved. The clarity grade is very slightly included, evaluated at eye level, a clarity that lends authenticity without distracting from the gem's fire. The excellent polish is a final touch that reflects our commitment to quality, and the mixed brilliant cut locks in the stone's innate sparkle, creating a balance between old world warmth and modern brilliance.

The cutting of this zircon is a study in geometry and light, each facet intentionally placed to maximize brilliance and scintillation, the mixed brilliant faceting pattern combining a generous crown with a precisely faceted pavilion, allowing light to enter, dance, and return to the eye in lively flashes. The geometric faceting creates a kaleidoscope of golden and amber flashes, a play of light that makes this gem feel alive on the hand, ideal for a solitaire ring where every movement catches attention. With intense color intensity and a transparent body, the stone offers both depth and liveliness, and because there has been no enhancement, you enjoy the authentic optical performance that only a natural zircon can deliver. As a gemstone specialist at The Natural Gemstone Company I invite you to imagine this stone set in warm yellow gold to amplify its honey tones, or in subtle platinum to let its internal fire speak for itself, and I am happy to advise on settings that will celebrate its geometry and light.
