Nat Zircon From Cambodia 2.31 CT
Cambodian Zircon—often short for natural (nat) zircon—is a highly brilliant, naturally occurring gemstone famous for its diamond-like fire. Primarily mined in the Ratanakiri province, it is especially renowned for producing the world's most vibrant natural blue zircons, alongside rich reds, champagnes, and white stones.
Why Cambodian Zircon Stands Out
- Brilliance & Fire: Zircon has a higher refractive index than many other stones, giving it incredible sparkle and fire that rivals real diamonds.
- The "Ratanakiri" Blue: While rough Cambodian zircon is naturally found in earth tones like brown, red, or orange, carefully heating them transforms them into a mesmerizing, highly sought-after sky to vibrant blue.
- Affordability: It serves as a beautiful, natural, and far less expensive alternative to diamonds or sapphires.
- Durability: It rates at about 7.5 on the Mohs hardness scale, making it suitable for everyday jewelry like earrings, pendants, and carefully protected rings.
