Meet ZrSiO4 or zirconium silicate…..

Zircon is so misunderstood.

This is no synthetic diamond, or diamond simulant, but a gemstone in its own right.
This specimen has a lovely bold colour and although hand cut, has a beautiful sparkle in its warm orange facets.
Handmined, Natural, untreated and relatively inexpensive (definitely compared to coloured diamonds and sapphires).
This truly represents everything artisanal mine product should be.
