South Africa is gradually waking up to the sublime beauty
of the Cambodian Zircon, and its undoubted investment potential.
This one is an absolute beauty, and the colour (Ballerina Pink) is utterly sublime, and very highly sought after by discerning gemstone collectors. Add the fact that it is also Flawless, and you have a very special gemstone indeed. Photo's are less than adequate, but the Zircon itself is gorgeous, and much more pink than the poor images portray.
Zircon is the oldest mineral on Earth, and even older than the Moon, which formed over 4 billion years ago !
It also happens to be one of the most extraordinarily beautiful gemstones that exist, and isHIGHLY prized by serious gemstone enthusiasts worldwide. If you have never seen one with your own eyes, you are missing out on one of the few truly beautiful gemstones.
The fire in Zircon, called dispersion, is caused by light entering the gemstone and separating into a prism of rainbow colours. Possessing dispersion approaching that of Diamond, the brilliance of Zircon is second to none. The Zircon cut, a variation of the Round Brilliant cut that adds eight extra facets to the pavilion, was designed to take advantage of these properties.
