A beautiful, lustrous, deep red 0.7 cm zircon crystal is perched at the top of this specimen and accompanied by two smaller crystals. The crystals are in excellent condition. The main crystal is incomplete at the back, and one can see minerals intergrown there, but depending on the display angle chosen, this is either completely […]

Detailed Description A sharp red zircon on matrix, with great colour and lustre. The crystal is 0.7 cm. In excellent condition, no damage – the matrix has been stabilized. Fluoresces yellow under short-wave ultraviolet light, as shown in the last photo. Nice little modification faces at the corners, this is a sweet zircon crystal. Browse […]

Detailed Description A dark red zircon crystal with slight colour zoning and a lighter shade at the termination. This is a sharp, lustrous crystal (0.9 cm across the diagonal) with good modification faces. In excellent condition, no damage. Stands perfectly for display as photographed. The zircon fluoresces yellow under short-wave ultraviolet light, as shown in […]

Detailed Description This is an amazing zircon crystal – intense red, gemmy and doubly-terminated. Under just a bit of light, this crystal just glows red. The crystal meaures 0.7 cm tip to tip, and fluorescesces yellow under short-wave ultraviolet light. In excellent condition, no damage. Site perfectly for display as photographed. This is a beautiful […]

Detailed Description This specimen hosts three lustrous zircon crystals, up to 0.8 cm, embedded in black mica with some feldspar. The zircon crystals are sharp and show a only a little interaction with the feldspar. In excellent condition, no damage. The colour ranges from a dark wine-red, to deep intense red in the second crystal, […]

Detailed Description A sharp, lustrous, deep red zircon crystal, this one has some intense colour inside, when viewed under strong light. The crystal is 0.8 cm, well-formed and in excellent condition, no damage (I note that at the one corner, that is a small modification face that has some curvature to it, it’s not damage). […]

Detailed Description This specimen features a pair of sharp, lustrous zircon crystals. The one on the right has a double, parallel-growth, termination, and the one on the left is deep red. In excellent condition, the crystal on the left has minor chipping on the outer left edge, which faces away from the main display view […]

Detailed Description This zircon crystal sharp and lustrous, centred in the matrix. It looks dark red (and essentially it is) but upon closer inspection you can see colour zoning/gradation – it ranges from deep wine-red, to a more intense red and then a small zone of almost colourless near the tip. The first photograph has […]

Detailed Description This is very cool zircon crystal at the top of this specimen – it is so strongly colour-zoned that it is bicoloured. For the full length of the prism, it is deep red, and at the top pyramidal termination, it is very lightly coloured, almost colourless. There is other zircon on this specimen […]

Detailed Description A deep red parrallel-growth zircon crystal perched on matrix. The crystal measures 1.5 cm. It is in excellent condition – there is no damage. The crystal grew at the same time as the surrounding minerals, so at the terminations it exhibits some rounding, rather than sharp pyramids. Fluoresces yellow under short-wave ultraviolet light, […]

Detailed Description This piece features a beautiful pair of very sharp red zircon pyramids at the top, centre. The one on the left is just the top termination poking out, with deep red colour. The one on the right is also sharp and glassy as it faces forward – this crystal is more exposed and […]
