Item Description

A glorious, orangy-red, gemmy, 8 mm tall, zircon octahedron is expertly perched atop the matrix wedge of mica and host rock. Pristine. The crystal really GLOWS when backlit or under bright light and is about as red as zircon gets from most localities. 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.
