This is about as red as Zircon gets from most localities. This piece features a sharp, lustrous, translucent, red crystal of Zircon measuring 1.8 cm on matrix. A very colorful crystal, but the center of the crystal has a "seam" of matrix running through it, obviously caused by some sort of tectonic activity. It gives the crystal an interesting look I think. 9.7 x 8.0 x 8.0 cm
