Zircon

Item Description

Cambodia for many years has been the source of the finest blue Zircons in the world. The hues can range from soft aqua blues to some gorgeous fiery electric cerulean shades with additional overtones. This stone has an almost metallic blue color with a slight greenish overtone. It has very very slightly inclusions and a "Round Oval" cut. It is very difficult to obtain large, clean stones from this locality these days, they definitely seem less common on the market than years ago. The light just sparkles around this gem, and it really looks better than the photos would indicate because the birefringence makes it look somewhat "fuzzy" but it's better in person.
