A dark golden to golden brown color, these Zircons are often natural and not heat treated to achieve this unique color.
The cognac zircons are usually gems that have not been heat treated which renders them more durable than the blue variety. This variety has amazing life to the cut/carved gems and this unusual color isn't found in other types of gemstones. Coming mostly from the southern regions of Africa, cognac zircon is a very affordable member of the zircon family.
