Item Description
Very good doubly-terminated large single crystal of Zircon. Every mm of this 5 cm crystal is lustrous - excepting only the back that was once contacted has now healed over (so it is technically a floater), which even still has at least moderate luster. The edges are bevelled along the bases of the pyramidal terminations, and the deep cinammon & root beer color is very attractive. Minor edge wear but overall in very good shape, and in context with the size its a significant crystal. An aesthetic and important specimen of huge size and heft for this locale. Rarely will you find one this good and large - and it is an oldtimer, certainly. Valued $750
