Greenish zircon (originally assumed to be zoisite - see www.mindat.org/mesg-106-350020.html). This vibrant gem crystal is both lovely and interesting. The color, luster, and clarity are superb, and the termination is perfect. Add to that a very interesting gently-stepped growth on all the sides, and you have a killer thumbnail. The best ...

FOV 3.0 x 2.4 mm. Thanks to Ralph Thomas. MOB coll. This is very typical of the bi-pyramidal habit for zircon at MSH. Prismatic xls do occur but they are not common. On this xl the pyramidal faces are smooth but the small “belt” of prism faces is “pebbly” due to many tiny faces with re-entrant angles. The habits of zircon are ...
