Firstly, forget all that you previously thought of the Zircon ! It has no relationship whatsoever with Cubic Zirconium.
The Cambodian Zircon commands extremely high prices internationally, and is a seriously sound investment gemstone. Cambodian Zircon prices on the International gem markets are going through the roof, with no sign of a slowdown
Zircon is the oldest mineral on Earth, and even older than the Moon, which formed over 4 billion years ago !
The fire in Zircon, called dispersion, is caused by light entering the gemstone and separating into a prism of rainbow colours. Possessing dispersion approaching that of Diamond, the brilliance of Zircon is second to none. The Zircon cut, a variation of the Round Brilliant cut that adds eight extra facets to the pavilion, was designed to take advantage of these properties.
Cambodia is the worlds premiere source for Zircon. One hundred kilometres north of Angkor Wat, close to the Cambodian Thai border, are the mines of Preah Vihear. Remote, pristine, and stunningly beautiful.
I am from Earth, from a land of rare beauty, and great mystery. I am older than the Moon, and I am made of burning gold....
