Natural Orange Zircon
Burma
Possessed of both a high refractive index and high dispersion, zircon is one of the few gems capable of rivaling diamond for brilliance and fire. Only a few other gem materials equal the dispersive "fire" of zircon, diamond being one of them. In most zircons, the "fire" is often masked by a dark body color. That is not the case with this wearable and collectible stone. Zircons of more than 3 carats are exceedingly rare. This beautiful zircon displays a rare natural color of orange with little to no brown visible. This is a fine stone for the knowledgeable color or lover of zircons. Zircons in larger sizes are rare--and this one--with its unusual natural color should be sure to entice the serious collector. Weighing approximately 21.87 carats and measuring 16.3 x 12.3 x 10.2mm
