8.44 ct Blue Zircon - Oval

At 8.44 carats, this zircon from Cambodia carries its blue color through an oval cut, measuring 9.5 x 7.8 x 6.3 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.
