My new cushion from Gene finally arrived yesterday,
and I actually said "whoa!" out loud when I opened this one
Specs from Gene:
Yellow Zircon - 4.55 ct. A beautiful Yellow Zircon from Tanzania, cut in a classic square cushion. Once again the picture doesn't do this one justice, it looks like a yellow diamond in person. Measures 8.90mm. I heated this stone with low heat as these are more of a rootbeer color when mined. Pretty much all zircon is heated with low heat, if not heated after cutting, it's heated at the mine.
Color: 9
Clarity: 10
Brilliance: 5
Total Quality Rating: 9.7
Gene's description of resembling a yellow diamond was spot on, the dispersion and fire on this guy is stunning in all lights.
I wish zircons were just a tad harder...However I'm still going to love wearing this stone; I was thinking maybe pendant instead of ring this time...?
