You lucky December babies, this is for you! Blue Zircon, in my opinion, is one of the finest examples of a bright and lively gemstone that is almost always guaranteed to be VIBRANT. It’s hard to find a Blue Zircon that doesn’t stand out from across the room. While all gems have their perks and downfalls, I so love cutting Blue Zircon because I’m almost always guaranteed it will turn out FANTASTIC!

What do you all think about Blue Zircon?

What should we name this Orange Zircon? Help us out in the comments! “Orange” doesn’t feel like it quite does it justice or truly fits the range of rich and earthy autumn feeling colors I see when I move it about. The trillion design @sune.Bjorn used here really gives it a life of its own and I love those slivers of vacillating colors!

Found this beauty this summer and wow…isn’t she beautiful? It’s hard to find a truly PURPLE Purple Sapphire. Not pink. Not violet. Not magenta. Not lavender. Not lilac. Just purple without any modifying colors.

Take it back to primary colors and mixing them to create new colors. Mother Nature had to have equal amounts of red and blue in the time this gem formed to create a true purple color. If that isn’t a miracle, I don’t know what is.

Ginger and I got away for a few days to enjoy New York City in the fall! We had surprisingly excellent weather and enjoyed some sights we’ve never seen before, including Top of the Rock and The September 11 Memorial and Museum. More in my stories, but just a little recap here from our few days away!
