A rare and captivating unheated brownish zircon from the legendary gem fields of Sri Lanka (Ceylon). This 1.25 carat beauty displays a warm, earthy brown tone with subtle golden-cognac undertones that shift enchantingly under different lighting – a hallmark of completely natural, untreated zircon.
Cut to precision with dimensions of 6.3 × 5.4 × 3.3 mm, it offers excellent brilliance and that coveted zircon fire – strong dispersion that rivals diamond. The stone is loupe-clean to the naked eye with only minor natural inclusions visible under magnification, entirely characteristic of genuine unheated material.
Sri Lankan zircons are prized among collectors and designers for their untouched natural state and intense optical properties. Low-temperature zircons like this one (never heated or enhanced) are becoming increasingly scarce on the market.
Perfect as a unique centre stone for bespoke jewellery, an exceptional addition to any serious gem collection, or for those seeking something genuinely rare and ethically sourced.
