Parcel of zircon rough from Vietnam, totaling 7 pieces. These crystals are especially significant because, like zircon from Cambodia, Nigeria, Mali, and Burma, they can be heated to produce the vivid blue color that is highly prized in the gem trade. Blue zircon is one of the most desirable varieties of this ancient mineral, celebrated for its exceptional brilliance and dispersion when faceted. With only a few locations worldwide capable of producing zircon that responds to heat treatment in this way, Vietnamese material is both rare and important for cutters and collectors seeking true blue zircon.
