Description

An other great classic from a very old locality. The zircon (22 mm across) is sharp terminated, highly lustrous and shows intense dark brownish color - the contrast to very light matrix is very attractive and the assemble is really very aesthetic. The specimen will come with an old label from the famous Berger-collection.
