Description
An almost gemmy, very sharp, equant, highly lustrous, 1.7 cm Zircon crystal, well-exposed on biotite schist. This is a classic old locality for the species, and you can see why it is such a classic! The luster, form, and beautiful deep red-brown colour create a gorgeous aesthetic. Specimens of this size, well-exposed and on matrix, are hard to obtain today and I have seen only a few in the last decade or so turn up, from old collections. A fine miniature example, here!
