Item Description
One of the gemmiest Zircons I have seen from Tanzania, despite the smaller size. It has a beautiful "sherry" color, with pyramidal modifications on the termination. The faces are fairly sharp, and when the piece is backlit, the color really shines through. A fine gemmy and colorful partial crystal that would yield a decent sized gemstone. Rarely are euhedral Zircon crystals found with such clarity.
