Zircon from the Harts Range, Australia

No. 632: Curved Triangular Brilliant Cut, 2.17 ct., 7.7 x 7.7 x 4.7 mm, VS, Faceted by R. Drummond, $65.10 Sold

Shown above is an expertly crafted gemstone that would serve beautifully as the centerpiece in a pendant, pin, or occasional-use ring. The stone is a light cinnamon color with a slight tinge of pink. Zircon has a relatively high refractive index that results in discernible dispersion. This dispersion is evident as small flash of spectral colors as the stone is moved under a bright light source. This facet pattern delivers excellent scintillation and light return.
