A very gemmy, high quality zircon with aegirine, on a cream colored calcite matrix from Pakistan. The color of the sharp, tetragonal crystal is a deep translucent amber to cognac, contrasting beautifully with the tan colored matrix. 3/4 x 5/8 x 1/4 inches. www.freilichminerals.com

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 ...

Longest edges ~ 1cm. Thanks to Michel Hebert. (Found July 1989.) MOB coll. Best in stereo (child photo).

FOV 1.3 x 1.5 mm. Ex Ron Waddell (Found April 1990) MOB coll. Tiny yellow di-pyramids to ~ ⅓ mm on edge. Ron’s label is very excited about these but such xls show up from time to time in great abundance. Stereo child photo.

A quite exemplary example of zircon from a region that has certainly produced some of the world's finest specimens. The 20 mm crystal sits on a granitic matrix. 85 x 72 x 50 mm. Crystal-Odyssey specimen. gemcrystals@aol.com

10 x 8 x 7.5 cm. This is a large cluster of zircon with unusually fine form and bright lustre, for the locale. It has a wonderful cinnamon color to it, and actually displays quite well. It is hefty at 1225 grams. The piece is nearly pristine, and is even complete, though contacted, around the backside. It is a major specimen for the locale, which ...
