Pretty ring, but 2 ctw in Blue Zircon isn't quite as big as it would be in Diamond because the specific gravity is much higher for Blue Zircon, i.e., if you were to take two identical zipper lock plastic bags and fill one with sand and the other with as many feathers as humanly possible, then seal each bag, the bags won't weigh the same. That's what specific gravity reflects. Carat weight and size are not the same thing. I have more than a handful of Zircons, each magnificent, transparent, desirable. Definitely a fan.👍
Dear Paul Deasy I hope you dont mind me asking Being daltonic limits me in pursuit of studying gemology🤔 Do you think getting into the gems world could give me a future a kind of career. I'm making a move in my career after twenty years of advertising and tv , also fiction writer and streaming Is there a future in gems economically🤔 I feel a strong connection with gemology I viist jewelry small shops in Buenos Aires (Calle Esmeralda) or wherever i go. I have crossed Africa up north and all India. Lived in many place: Gibraltar, Costa Rica, Warwickshire, Adis Abeba. Now i live in Uruguay on the ocean. my brother Paul lives in Atlant I would really do with your Advice . I am very fond of my times watching and learning from your vids Best regards
My dad left me an 18ct white gold man's ring he found....I think... big blue highly refractive stone.... don't know what it is but must be something.... don't think anyone would put plastic in an 18 ct gold ring... don't care though cause I'll never sell it!
Hi Ethan, you are correct. Like many gems (Tanzanite, Sapphires, and more), Zircon is treated to improve the color. It is important to also remember that the potential of that color must exist in the rough to begin with. In other words, You can't heat treat any quality of rough and expect spectacular results. At the end of the day, it is that final color (and carat weight, cut, color) will determine the final value of that gemstone.
SO beautiful SO elgand just looking like a WOW 💕💕 💕
December birthday stones changed so many times. I stuck with blue Topaz for a while. Blue zircon is very powerful. I love all the Zircons.
Merry Christmas! Those zircon are lovely, one of my favorite stones. When nicely cut, they are so fiery.
Merry Christmas and a Happy and Healthy 2024 to you and Judy. 🎄
realy enjoy your channel and really glad you both are doing better
I'd love to hear about epidote! I found some killer phantom quartz with chlorite and epidote in the olympic peninsula!

Hello, could you help me by indicating some gem buyers. I have a set of gems to sell here in the USA. Amethyst and emerald.
Isn't blue zircon treated brown rough zircon?
