This is a very lovely small cabinet matrix specimen from the world famous gemmy Zircon occurrence in the remote northern part of Norway at Seiland Island. The Zircon crystals are not the largest known from Seiland Island by any stretch, but they are significant, gemmy and richly coloured. Not only this but the specimen is provenanced to a specific locality - Storjordtind - rather than just the broad island which extends to 20 x 13 miles. Collecting at Seiland Island has long been banned as it is now a National Park, but specimens are found in older collections. This one is from the superb systematic collection assembled by the brothers Martin and Michael Günther (1951-2007 & 1956-2021). The individual Zircon crystals reach 1.3 cm in length with several excellent crystals above 8 mm in size. These crystals all demonstrate superb crystal form and are presented at different angles/directions within the contrasting white matrix. A really lovely display Zircon specimen from this classic European locality.
