Identity HelpZircon Inclusion, Sri Lanka

7th Feb 2015 16:36 UTCJacob Zonderman

I recently aquired this piece, its an incomplete, sky-blue gem Zircon crystal. Most of the faces are either fractures or finely etched(?), with only 1 side being window clear so I did my best to get decent photos (with my phone this time, HDR setting though to help with quality). The inclusion looks dark brown with either striations or a number or fine air bubbles on or around it. There is a very small entry point for the inclusion that I photographed as well.


The Zircon is approx 0.8 cm x 0.8 cm x 0.6 cm, while the inclusion is approx 0.7 x 0.3 cm (L/W)
