Tanzanian Red Zircon | 8.37 Carat Vibrant Cushion The Fire of Tanga: A Bold Expression of Natural Radiance Elevate your collection with this stunning 8.37-carat Red Zircon, a standout specimen from the premier mines of Tanga, Tanzania. Combining a generous Cushion silhouette with the masterful Portuguese Cut, this gemstone offers a rare blend of substantial size and electrifying brilliance. Product Specifications Weight: 8.37 carats Dimensions: 13.0 x 10.0 x 6.0 mm Shape: Cushion Cut: Portuguese (Precision Multi-Tiered) Color: Vivid, Saturated Red Origin: Tanga, Tanzania Why This Gemstone Stands Out Geometric Brilliance The Portuguese Cut is specifically engineered to exploit Zircon’s unique optical properties. With multiple tiers of precision-cut facets, this stone creates a “stardust” effect, dispersing light into a mesmerizing display of crimson fire. Because Zircon is doubly refractive, the light paths are split, doubling the number of visible facets to the eye for a truly dense, rich sparkle. The Perfect Cushion Silhouette At 13 x 10 mm, this cushion-cut Zircon offers a modern and sophisticated profile. The softened corners provide a romantic appeal while the large surface area ensures a dominant visual presence. It is an ideal centerpiece for a custom-designed statement ring or a luxury pendant. Authentic Tanga Sourcing Tanzanian Zircons are world-renowned for their authentic “earth-born” color. This 8.37ct gem displays a pure, deep red that avoids the muddy undertones often seen in other locales. Its saturation remains bright and lively, making it a favorite for those who appreciate high-impact color. Design Inspiration The fiery personality of this Tanzanian treasure pairs exquisitely with 18k Rose Gold to emphasize its warm red tones, or White Gold to create a high-contrast, icy frame. Given its substantial weight, a double-prong or bezel setting would provide both security and a touch of modern elegance.
