Blue Zircon Scissors Cut 1.16 Carat ZIN0058

An unusual facet cut for zircon. Our faceter cut the stone using a scissors design to take advantage of zircon’s high refractive index. The play of light on the back facets reminds us of the reflection off an old Fresnel lens from a lighthouse. Many people believe that zircon is manmade, mistaking it for cubic zirconia, but zircon is a natural gemstone which is sometimes used as a diamond substitute due to its high refractive index. Blue zircon has become a very popular gemstone, and this particular is very unique. We recommend setting this stone in a pendant to take full advantage of the scissors cut.
