Zircon Crystal on Matrix – Pakistan (Large Crystal)

Notonlyrocks
95,00
This is a natural zircon crystal on matrix from Pakistan, offered as an authentic collector mineral specimen.
The specimen features a prominent, well-developed zircon crystal measuring approximately 1.6 × 1.4 cm, strongly contrasting with the lighter host matrix. The zircon shows a rich reddish to deep red coloration, sharp crystal edges, and a compact prismatic habit, making it visually dominant and highly collectible.
Zircon crystals of this size on matrix are significantly less common than small isolated crystals and are valued for both aesthetic impact and mineralogical importance.
The specimen is completely natural and untreated. No polishing, repair, or artificial enhancement has been applied. All photographs show the exact zircon specimen you will receive.
Suitable for cabinet collections, advanced mineral collections, and educational reference displays.

Mineralogy

Zircon is a zirconium silicate mineral (ZrSiO₄) crystallizing in the tetragonal crystal system. It commonly forms short to elongated prismatic crystals with well-defined crystal faces and sharp edges.
Zircon is an important geological mineral, widely used in age-dating studies, and is valued by collectors for its durability, crystal form, and range of colors.

Origin

Pakistan is a known source of zircon crystals occurring in metamorphic and pegmatitic environments, often associated with feldspar-rich matrices.
Zircon specimens from this region are collected internationally for their clean crystal habit and strong color contrast against the host rock.

Why Collect

Zircon crystals on matrix are appreciated by mineral collectors for both aesthetic and scientific reasons.
This specimen is suitable for collectors who value:
  • Well-formed zircon crystal on contrasting matrix
  • Recognized mineral species with geological significance
  • Natural, untreated mineral specimens
  • Compact cabinet-size display pieces
