Item Description
These are some of the most loved Zircons in the world. They have the most distinctive green color with a slight "hazy" quality. It's very hard to describe as they seem to appear almost slightly metallic. Nonetheless, the color is beautiful, and green Zircons are not common on the gem market. The stone in this rough and cut set has a standard "Cushion Brilliant" cut, and is very very slightly included. You do not see many of these gems on the market these days, and a stone like this can help to complete any Zircon suite. The matching crystal in this set is really the star for me as I've only seen one other crystallized green Zircon from this locality. While the crystal may not be razor sharp or highly lustrous, it does have classic tetragonal form with a lovely green interior when backlit. A great set for any collector. Priced at $700 in the inventory.
