This is a rare GEM transparent zircon crystal from the famous Mogok gem region of Burma (Myanmar). It is 62 carats, of mostly carving quality zircon with intense yellow-orange coloration, and is so much better in person than we can capture here. It is bright and sparkling, with a brilliant interior as well (some zircons can be dull inside but this is bright and "happy" throughout). The crystal is complete all around, with a few minor contacts only; and it is a miracle it was saved from cutting by being purchased on one of Bill Larson's Burma trips in the early 2000s. From the important Burma collection of William (Bill) Larson, emphasizing Mogok, built up over 40 years and over 60 trips to Burma.
