Item Description

This is nearly as red as Zircon gets from most localities. This piece features a few sharp, lustrous, red crystal of Zircon measuring up to 1.2 cm on Mica/Quartz schist matrix. Despite some surface crazing, it's still a bit gemmy when backlit. 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 nice red Zircon to add to your collection.
