Item Description

A large, dramatic zircon crystal measuring just under 4 cm tip to tip adorns this contrasting matrix, and comes from a rare find in the high Himalaya Mountains of Pakistan. Zircons of this size in matrix are already rare but this one has a beauty to it of form and color, that is unusual. This is from the collection of Gene Meieran, known for breadth in gem species and gem pegmatite minerals. He has a particularly strong suite of Pakistani material, amassed over decades.
