5.28 ct Blue Zircon - Pear

At 5.28 carats, this zircon from Cambodia carries its blue color through a pear cut, measuring 12.3 x 8.9 x 6.2 mm.

Zircon is the natural mineral often confused by name with a synthetic imitation; the real gem has fire and brilliance close to diamond. Its color was brought up by heat, a legitimate and accepted practice that the trade discloses and we disclose here.

A single natural gemstone with no duplicate behind it; once it is set or collected, there is no other. It will outlast everyone who owns it, which is most of what an heirloom really is. Hand-selected and filmed by Caveman Gems in good light, shown as honestly as a screen allows.
