Item Description
This huge 537-gram crystal is one of the larger Russian zircons you will see, in good form. It is from a classic and highly important locality. It has nice glassy, wet-looking luster, translucence and laminated cream to gray-brown color. Contacting on the back and part of the base is noted. A significant rarity from the Robert Nowakowski Collection. Mottled straw-yellow fluorescence.
