Where can I buy a large, unset, cubic zirconia?

[Absolute]

I want to buy the biggest cubic zirconia I can find, to keep on my desk and use as a paperweight. Where can I buy something like this? I don't want it in any kind of setting, just the (fake) stone itself.

Cool. What does this mean: "Perfect for display or wire wrapping projects"?

Wire wrapping is when you use a soft metal to make jewelry out of. See this as an example.

eBay has some, I see a 50ct for about $3 now. That's about 20mm or 4/5th of an inch.

I don't know where you are located, but I was in Michael's Craft Store here in NJ the other day, and they were selling them. Plastic, not CZ, but paperweight size (maybe 4" in diameter).

I notice that the $90, 750 carat zirconium is 50mm across, which is 2 inches. Not a very big paperweight.

ETA: It seems you get more weight for your money with these raw, uncut gemstones: http://www.gemhunters.com.au/uncut_Gemstones
Not as flashy as a cubic zirconium.

If you just want flashy and ridiculous and aren't really attached to the idea of a CZ, maybe a cut glass paperweight?

Two arbitrary links I just found.
