A nearly 30 ct precision cut Zircon will most always be rather impressive by its sheer presence. This one has a rather special bonus about it - a light cloud of what might be a growth strain feature or perhaps a kind of crystal alteration that can catch the light and reflect. This effect is similar to a schiller caused by inclusions, though that doesn’t seem to be the case here. The color is a silvery-white so it does resemble adularesence in some regards; either way, it is an interesting effect and one that is subtle enough that the stone appears largely clean when rotated. Great cutting and an interesting color as well - there is a bit of shift with the greenish/brownish modifier dependent on the light source.
