Pink Zircon

Item Description

Zircon is popular among gem collectors and jewelers/gem dealers due to the fact that it occurs in a wide range of colors, plus it has a notably high refractive index and fire. Zircon is sometimes confused with Cubic Zirconia, which is a lab-grown Diamond simulant, whereas Zircon is completely natural. This stone has an attractive light pink color in person, which is a rarely seen shade for the material. It should be noted that this stone has been heated to improve the color, but a large percentage of Zircons are heated these days, including the beautiful blue stones from Cambodia, which start out brown. Heated gems are perfectly safe and acceptable to buy, so long as the buyer is aware they are purchasing a heated stone. The "Round Brilliant" gem is nearly eye clean and would make a great addition to any gem collection or as a center stone in a piece of jewelry. This is a lovely shade for Zircon, especially in a stone this size. You don't see these gems on the market very often, and typically the Tanzanian Zircons are either green or yellow, so this is a rare color from this country. Don't miss this opportunity to purchase a great quality stone of an attractive color.
