Description
A stunning, textbook crystal of zircon showing stark geometry, perched on a natural pedestal of matrix. It is just gorgeously displayed. This crystal has a sharper termination, cleaner look, more isolated style, and better strong red color than nearly all other examples we have seen from this locality over the years. It is actually an important miniature, worthy of sitting aside more expensive and famous gem species in any such suite.
