Is this a common zircon color?

[Shijitake]

Another question!

As you all know I just bought a peachy sapphire (pics are coming) and unless I don't keep it, I shouldn't buy another stone. Well I saw this one and it's calling out to me so hard! There was a deeper blue version of this earlier and I loved it but someone bought it. But I like this better! It's such a beaut I'm so ready to just go over and buy it like RIGHT NOW and not care about finances. It's at a fairly low price. So my question is, if I miss out on this one will I find another like it? Since I'm "new" to gems (even newer to zircon) I don't think I've ever seen this color before, and if I have, it wasn't this cut (which is would be less interesting to me).

Thanks in advance!

I just did a search and blue zircons came up as this color. I don't know why I just didn't think of that. My head must be too up in the air because I've got my new sapphire AND I'm finally going on vacation I guess there's no need to answer this question.

Just be aware that Zircons are heat treated to create that blue. Similar to Aquamarines, routinely heat treated to improve colour so assume heated.

It’s a common color for zircon, but the cut is rather unique. Pretty stone.

 

[Shijitake]

I don't mind it for this stone

Turquoise blue is common, great intensity is not... The picture may not be very close to reality, if it is, this is above & beyond what I think possible.

There are a couple of great blue zircon stones around here.

Common but it is a lovely stone.

I've got one in a similar tone made into a ring

Looks great! I like

I think I may recognize that particular zircon It's a very pretty color and that hexagon cut is cool. The blue color some in high-quality zircons can be quite intense, IMO.

I like light-medium saturation. I'm hoping to get a light lavender sapphire some time. I wasn't planning to get zircon for a while but now I really want this. The cut is definitely what drew me to this along with the color.

@mellowyellowgirl those rings are.gorgeous!!! I love that lavender jade and and love ascher cut. That zircon is just as beautiful! I just want everything you have!

 

[qubitasaurus]

Yes common colour, and a cut which I think turns up from time to time in zircons. You're likely to find similar ones on Jeff Davies ebay page (not sure if there are any at the moment), and gemobsessed had some on her instagram too!

Having said all this, the one youre looking at was fairly priced and inexpensive. So can't see the harm in just getting it.

I just bought a $700 peach sapphire. I just can't justify another purchase even if the price is low

Do you have this yet?!

Yes, I'm currently taking pics in several different lightings. So far, I don't see anything to not like about it when I have enough pics, I'll post them up.

I don't think you're missing out on much then. Something similar will be arround later.

Agreed. If you pass on this, you’ll be fine later.

For combination of colour and cut it’s not that common unless you have trade access and go to many trade shows or know the couple of people who sell those cuts. Good hexagon cut zircons are not easy to get and often come in colours that are more greyish ( zircon can often have a dull greyish look) or simply light blue.

 

[Shijitake]

Thanks again for the input. I did see that the vendor had others of these in this color and unique cut. I liked them but none were quite like this one. It's reassuring that I can wait for another one but as @Rare gem lover says wow that color combo! I hope I can score this stone and if I do I will let you all know

She has a sale starting Oct 3 so I hope you get it! I've a couple things saved for later in my shopping cart as well .

Oh lord. Do you know how much of a discount?

20%. The sale probably starts at midnight, I'll be there with my shopping cart .

What's fantastic about this zircon is that the color is so perfect and versatile, if you wanted to pair it with red/pink, darker blues, purple, green, orange or even yellow, and of course white, it would all work! Good luck at the sale. I don't think it's going to sit in her shop until Christmas time, but that's just my personal opinion

Lol! All the things I wanted were bought up in the last sale. Not that I could afford them anyway. Now she has two things I want. I'm ready to cry when one sells (no I'm not but I can't afford it), but not this zircon. Maybe I will pay her a visit and talk her into giving me an early sale.

 

[Shijitake]

Anyone know how long the sale will be?

Through the 10th. So a week. When are you going to grab it? I hope you get it!

 

[Shijitake]

I gave her a price that she said may be doable but didn't confirm. So I guess she is waiting to see if anyone buys it during the sale first. I can't justify spending the sale price since I just moved and already made some splurges. *Sigh*

That zircon is beautiful! I debated getting it, but decided against it since I have a station bracelet project under construction with Yvonne.

If I were in your position I'd try to work out an installment payment plan instead of going nobody else buys it. Just a suggestion.

I debated getting it but decided against it since it's too big for the tourbillion setting.

 

[Shijitake]

I'm glad neither of you got it because my fingers are still crossed and I'm holding out.
