1.55 Carat Natural Metallic-Sky Blue Zircon

About the Item

A beautiful sparkling Pear shaped 'Metallic Blue' Zircon from Ratanakiri, Cambodia. This 1.55 carat Blue Zircon has a soothing grayish tinge but a pure light blue color. Giving it the "Metallic-Sky Blue" distinction. (The Metallic-Sky Blue distinction is given to zircons that have the pure light blue color of the Sky Blues along with the bright grayish tinge of the Metallic Blues). Dimension: 6.94 x 5.58 x 4.25 mm Traditional Heat Treatment Rare sparkling Blue Zircon is only found at one place in the world at Ratanakiri province in Northeast Cambodia. We cherry pick the stones at the mine in Cambodia and only 1% of all Blue Zircon mined have top quality blue color. A miner may find only a handful of these coveted crystals in a year. These Zircons have a color not normally seen in the main market and are extremely rare and out of a pedigree that very few people will ever own or even see. We are specialist in Investment Blue Zircon and have office in Ratanakiri there we can source all the best stones direct from the miners. Blue zircon is a beautiful and unique gemstone that has been prized for centuries for its striking color and brilliance. In fact Blue Zircon has a higher refractive index than sapphire and ruby. Blue Zircon also has a impressive fire, with a dispersion nearly as high as the diamond's. What the expert says about Ratanakiri Zircon: -Incredibly beautiful, Ratanakiri Zircon has an undeniable ‘je ne sais quoi’. Gemstone writer Yasukazu Suwa agrees with this view, describing its color as possessing; “a character that is not seen elsewhere.” He continues, adding: “If a fancy Blue Diamond showed this color, it might exceed $80,000 for a 1 carat stone” (2001). For most of us, this is well outside our gemstone budget, so thankfully Ratanakiri Zircon is far more affordable. -Industry analysts believe that blue zircon has yet to reach its full market potential and is the most undervalued gemstone in the market.
