7.34 Ct. Zircon from Madagascar

This transparent greenish blue zircon weighs 7.34 carats, and is fashioned into an oval shape with dimensions of 11.52 by 8.94 by 6.97 millimeters, featuring a mixed brilliant cut, vivid color intensity, and an excellent polish. The rough material originated in Madagascar, where selective artisanal mining and primary sorting identified a crystal with exceptional clarity and color potential. The rough was then transported to a specialized cutting workshop, where experienced lapidaries assessed natural inclusions and optical zones, and planned a cut that would balance weight retention with optimal light performance. A controlled heat treatment was applied to stabilize and enhance the blue green hue, a standard and accepted enhancement for zircon, and the stone was subsequently faceted to a mixed brilliant design to enhance both scintillation and color depth. Final inspection at eye level placed the clarity grade as very slightly included, reflecting minimal internal characteristics that do not impede visual appeal, and the surface was finished to an excellent polish to maximize reflective return and hand appeal.

From workshop to market the stone underwent documented handling and quality checks to ensure accurate specifications and consistent presentation. Photographs showing the piece on a hand provide a reliable scale reference, and The Natural Gemstone Company confirms the origin, enhancement, measurements, weight, cut type, clarity designation, and polish grade as stated. The stone is suitable for a variety of settings where a stable, vivid blue green color and high transparency are desired, and recommendations for care include avoiding exposure to extreme heat or harsh chemicals, and cleaning with mild detergent and a soft brush. The documented journey from Madagascar mine through cutting and treatment to final grading reflects a focus on traceability and craftsmanship, and the resulting 7.34 carat oval zircon offers a combination of measured specifications and visual presence that serves both precise gemological description and practical setting considerations.
