SOLD
A matrix of quartz and biotite mica hosts a few, equant, glassy and gemmy, orangy-red zircon crystals, to 1.5 cm across. Minor peripheral edge wear is present on one side of the zircon but the overall effect of the specimen is unaffected. This crystal is so sharp and lustrous, it looks cut and polished with a lapidary wheel.
