The following gems can be transmuted by an Alchemist without a cooldown. The link is to a blue post confirming what Alchemists on the PTR are experiencing. I have xmuted dozens in a row and the lack of CD is not a bug. So, expect the epic gems to come more into a reasonable line as far as prices go after a few weeks of the patch.(6/30/09) Build 10048: The 20 hour CD has been placed on epic xmutes and significant changes have been made to the materials required. The information below has been updated as of the stated build.
(8/6/08) Live Patch 3.2.0: Changed the Eye of Zul requirements to reflect the state which the patch was taken live.
Transmutable gems in 3.2.0 and the required materials:
- Cardinal Ruby: 1 Scarlet Ruby and 1 Eternal Fire instead of 3 Eye of Zul
- Majestic Zircon: 1 Sky Sapphire and 1 Eternal Air instead of 3 Sky Sapphire
- King's Amber: 1 Autumn's Glow and 1 Eternal Life instead of 1 Majestic Zircon and 2 Eternal Life
- Dreadstone: 1 Twilight Opal and 1 Eternal Shadow instead of 3 Twilight Opal
- Eye of Zul:3 Forest Emerald
- Ametrine: 1 Monarch Topaz and 1 Eternal Shadow instead of 1 Majestic Zircon and 2 Eternal Shadow
Spell
Transmute: Majestic Zircon

The highest voted Wowhead comments for this page. They are community notes, not TheWoWDB comments.
As of patch 4.0.1, the cooldown for epic gem transmutes resets at midnight, server time, regardless of when you perform the spell. This effectively makes the CD a static 24 hours, but allows you to perform it anytime during your day.
FYI, transmute mastery applies to these.

Transmute the element of air and a Sky Sapphire into a Majestic Zircon.

As of 5.0.4, these epic gem xmutes still have a cooldown that reset at midnight.
No, it does not. This doesn't say that it grants kill credit for NPC 28701. This, and the other four transmutes grant credit toward the quest for Transmute: Cardinal Ruby, which requires that you transmute any combination of the 5 epic gems. "Kill Credit" is just a server-side script that grants you progress on your quest.
This is, at least on my server, by far the best method of the epic transmutes to make money.
An eternal air is about ~20g in the AH, plus the Sky sapphire is mostly for under 10g, making the most valid epic gem
Cardinal ruby for example uses an eternal fire and a scarlet ruby, which is much more expensive, if you compare it to the sell price of cardinal ruby.
/call GM, he will do the rest.
As Kostyan said, open a ticket to recieve the new Trasmute spells.
Contacted GM, he said it can't be done from his side - provide missing transmutes, complete quest. He did however confirm that this is a known bug and development is working on the fix, no dates on when it might arrive.
hilariously enough, in the spell mechanics it says it grants Kill Credit for NPC 28701
Most of these were removed in 4.0.1 patch. However, as they are needed to complete this quest for this ability: http://www.wowhead.com/spell=66659 grab the quest and submit a ticket saying you can not complete it and the GM should give you the ability to transmute these. Read the comments at the above link for more info.
I just got my druid's alch to 450 and after seeing this bug petitioned a GM. My ticket was escalated and within 48 hours I had a GM whisper me asking me to hop onto another toon while they fixed the issue for me. It took about two minutes and then when I logged back on I had the transmutes in my recipe list. Didn't even have to pay to learn them. If you need screen shots, I'll post them, but it's too annoying to post them otherwise. I'll be reposting this on the other epic gem transmutes.
oddly enough, this and only this epic gem procs transmute mastery about every other time for me. every other majestic zircon i transmute procs 2 MZ. other (epic) gems take about 5-10 times to proc an extra 1 gem. this true for anybody else?
I dun get why was it downrated lol was a decent and hilarious observation of effect 2 lol
No Idea, looking into it for a friend and have found nothing.
Confirmed that entering a GM ticket fixes the problem. I had the exact same experience as Etain when I entered mine. Thanks for the advice! The upside is you don't have to pay for the recipes.
im also having problem with this i dont have this in my alchemy tab and cant be learned from trainer.
im having the same problem, dalaran trainer doesn't seam to have recipe..
