38.00 ct Facet Grade Ceylon Natural Honey Brown Zircon Rough from Watapotha, Sri Lanka – Unheated Alluvial Gemstone

Stone Identity & Quality

This is a 38.00 ct Ceylon Natural Honey Brown Zircon rough measuring 15.3 × 5.0 × 12.6 mm. It is an unheated alluvial rough stone sourced from Watapotha village around mining in Sri Lanka. The stone is presented as facet-grade rough and shows a clean internal appearance, making it suitable for professional evaluation by gemstone cutters, dealers, collectors, and buyers who understand rough-to-cut planning.

Color & Visual Characteristics

The stone displays a honey brown body color with greenish and golden-yellow glow visible when light passes through the rough. The outer surface shows a darker natural tone, while backlighting reveals better transparency and internal warmth. This visual behavior is important for cutting study because color direction, depth, and orientation can affect the final face-up appearance after cutting.

Internal & External Features

As an alluvial rough, this zircon carries a naturally worn external surface formed through movement in gem-bearing gravels. The surface shows natural marks and texture, while the internal body appears clean according to the provided details. The combination of natural surface character and internal transparency makes it useful for studying cutting direction, surface removal, and possible yield.

Cutting, Specimen, or Treatment Potential

This stone is described as facet-grade rough, so the main interest is cutting potential. However, the final result should not be assumed before proper examination. A cutter needs to study the orientation, shape, color concentration, depth, and natural surface areas before deciding the best cutting plan. The stone is currently unheated, and no treatment result should be promised. If suitable, custom cutting and certification can be discussed after proper assessment.
