2.79 ct Yellow Zircon - Round

At 2.79 carats, this zircon from Tanzania carries its yellow color through a round cut, measuring 8.2 x 4.8 mm.

Zircon is the natural mineral often confused by name with a synthetic imitation; the real gem has fire and brilliance close to diamond. Tanzania holds some of the most interesting modern gem deposits, including several found nowhere else. It is heat-treated, a common and honest preparation across the colored-stone trade, disclosed on every listing.

Its exact combination of color, cut, and origin is its own, the kind of center stone you choose on purpose and build a piece around. Hand-selected and filmed by Caveman Gems in good light, shown as honestly as a screen allows.
