Detailed Product Description
Natural White Zircon (Jarkan) β 4.90 Carat (5.38 Ratti)
This Natural White Zircon (historically known in Indian gemology as Jarkan) weighs exactly 4.90 Carats (5.38 Ratti). Precision-cut into an elegant Oval Mixed Cut, this Earth-mined natural gemstone displays dazzling adamantine brilliance, high dispersion (βfireβ), and remarkable optical scintillation.
Mineralogical Identity & Physical Constants: Natural Zircon is a nesosilicate mineral composed of Zirconium Silicate (ZrSiO4), crystallizing in the tetragonal crystal system. It must never be confused with synthetic cubic zirconia (CZ, a cheap synthetic substance); Natural Zircon is an ancient Earth-formed mineral dating back over 4 billion years. Gemological testing verifies an exceptionally high refractive index of 1.925 to 1.984, high birefringence (+0.059) showing diagnostic facet doubling under 10x magnification, a dense specific gravity of 4.60 to 4.70, and a resilient Mohs hardness of 7.5.
Cultural & Traditional Context: In classical Vedic astrology, Natural White Zircon is governed by Venus (Shukra) and revered as an esteemed canonical substitute (Upratna) for Natural Diamond (Heera). Customary traditions suggest mounting White Zircon in Sterling Silver (925 Silver), White Gold, or Platinum for Friday morning wear on the ring finger (Anamika) or middle finger (Madhyama) of the working hand.
