4.38 ct Yellow Zircon - Oval

At 4.38 carats, this zircon from Tanzania carries its yellow color through an oval cut, measuring 9.6 x 7.3 x 6 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 photographed by Caveman Gems in good light, shown as honestly as a screen allows.
