Description

Textbook zircon crystal on pale host matrix. Vivid dark red color, with smooth lustrous faces. When backlit with a strong light, it is blood red. The crystal is mostly complete, provided a missing portion of the back side (see pictures). At the bottom, a very lustrous, broken jet black mineral appears in chips, but I could not clearly distinguish it. Some minor traces of tack as this is a boxed specimen.

In great conditions. It comes in its plastic box.
