The Natural Gemstone Company is proud to present an exceptional specimen of green zircon, distinguished by its captivating transparency and expertly executed radiant shape. This gemstone weighs an impressive 7.12 carats and showcases dimensions of 12.85 x 9.86 x 5.90 mm, highlighting the refined precision with which it was cut. The sophisticated radiant cut of this zircon maximizes its brilliance and fire, allowing light to dance across its surface in a mesmerizing display of sparkling intensity. Carefully evaluated, this gemstone features a clarity grade of very slightly included, indicating that inclusions are barely perceptible at eye level and do not detract from its stunning visual appeal.
Characterized by its intense color intensity, this green zircon exhibits a hue reminiscent of the lush landscapes from which it originates. Its vibrant tone can be likened to the illustrious emeralds renowned in Colombia or the deep verdant hues of Tsavorite garnets from East Africa. The rich color of this zircon draws parallels to these famous gemstones, yet maintains its own unique charm, defined by the distinct geological conditions of Ceylon, or present-day Sri Lanka. This region has long been celebrated for producing high-caliber gemstones, and this zircon stands as a testament to the quality associated with such an esteemed provenance.
The excellent polish of this gemstone further underscores the meticulous craftsmanship devoted to its preparation. Each facet is expertly finished, ensuring a smooth surface that enhances the natural radiance and color depth of the stone. In terms of hue and saturation, this zircon's green shade offers a stunning alternative to traditional choices, combining the allure of precious stones from acclaimed locations with the distinctive identity of Ceylon-origin zircons. This singular combination of attributes makes it a desirable option for collectors and connoisseurs seeking a gemstone of both aesthetic and geological significance.
Essential to its appeal is the comparison of its hue to that of other renowned gemstones. While Colombian emeralds exude a medium to dark green shade with bluish undertones, the green zircon from Sri Lanka presents a slightly more vibrant and warmer green, offering an exquisite fresh green characteristic. Similarly, when compared to the Tsavorite garnets of East Africa, known for their rich forest green shade, this zircon demonstrates a lighter, yet equally intense, green with exceptional clarity and luminescence. These comparisons highlight the zircon's unique position among green gemstones, offering a sophisticated blend of hues appreciated by gemstone enthusiasts.
The Natural Gemstone Company is dedicated to offering products that meet the highest standards of quality and origin. This green zircon is a magnificent representation of our commitment to sourcing and presenting gemstones that embody rarity and beauty. Whether for the discerning collector or as a statement piece in fine jewelry, this zircon offers an opportunity to own a gemstone that resonates with both history and allure.
