Sparkling Natural Ocean Blue 9.63 Carat Zircon from Cambodia

About the Item

Natural Ocean Blue Zircon Rare sparkling Blue Zircon is only found at one place in the world at Ratanakiri province in Northeast Cambodia. Blue Zircon in this vivid blue color is very rare indeed. 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 Blue Zircon and have an office in Ratanakiri where 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. Along with an impressive fire, it also has a dispersion level nearly as high as the diamond. 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 US$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. This 9.63 carat Blue Zircon has an impressive fire and a strong vivid blue color without any green interference. Earning it the 'Ocean Blue' categorization.
