caption_attribution_description: English: Zircon Locality: Gilgit, Gilgit District, Northern Areas, Pakistan (Locality at mindat.org) Size: thumbnail, 1.8 x 1.5 x 1.1 cm Zircon This is a lustrous, gemmy, cognac-colored crystal of zircon perched on a sugary, tan matrix of calcite. The tetragonal form of the almost, 1.0 cm zircon crystal, is very evident. It is a superb thumbnail, and of a quality that is extremely rare for the locality - let alone in an aesthetic specimen of any kind! This complex crystal is stunning.
