Item Description
This is about as red as zircon gets from most localities. A glorious, cherry-red, 1.2 cm on edge, octahedron is expertly perched atop the matrix wedge of mica and quartz. Pristine. The crystal really GLOWS when backlit or under bright light. One does not see many of these specimens on the market anymore these days. If you're a collector of minerals from Pakistan, this is a very nice red zircon to add to your collection.
