Zircon Crystal Pakistan Natural Tetragonal Mineral Specimen 15-50mm Genuine Collector Display Stone with Certificate
£ 9.60
ZIRCON – NATURAL CRYSTAL SPECIMEN FROM PAKISTANThis genuine Zircon crystal from Pakistan is a naturally formed zirconium
silicate mineral valued for its durability, crystal form, and geological significance. Carefully selected for crystal structure, surface definition, and display presence, each specimen measures approximately 15–50mm. The photograph shows an example of the actual specimen you will receive. Please refer to the listing images for full sizing and natural variation within this range.Your Zircon specimen includes a Certificate of Authenticity lifetime guarantee generic card, confirming it is a 100% genuine natural mineral. MINERAL SPECIES & CHEMICAL COMPOSITIONZircon is a zirconium silicate mineral with the chemical formula:ZrSiO₄It belongs to the nesosilicate mineral group and crystallises in the tetragonal crystal system, commonly forming prismatic crystals with pyramidal terminations.Key mineralogical properties include:
• Mineral Group: Nesosilicate
• Crystal System: Tetragonal
• Hardness: 7–7.5 on the Mohs scale
• Lustre: Vitreous to adamantine
• Transparency: Transparent to translucent
• Cleavage: IndistinctZircon is one of the oldest known minerals on Earth, with some grains dated to over four billion years old. Its robust crystal structure and resistance to weathering make it an important mineral in geological dating studies. COLOUR, CLARITY & NATURAL FEATURESZircon occurs in a range of natural colours, depending on trace element content and radiation exposure. Pakistani Zircon specimens may display:
• Brown to reddish-brown tones
• Golden hues
• Honey or amber shades
• Occasional colour zoning
• Vitreous crystal facesThe 15–50mm size range allows for clear observation of crystal habit and surface detail. Some specimens may exhibit minor inclusions or natural surface textures formed during crystal growth. No artificial enhancement or colouring is applied. GEOLOGICAL FORMATION & LOCALITYZircon forms in igneous, metamorphic, and sedimentary environments. It commonly crystallises from silica-rich magmas in granitic and syenitic rocks and may also occur in metamorphic terrains subjected to high temperatures and pressures.In Pakistan, Zircon is often found in pegmatitic and metamorphic rock formations associated with mountainous geological regions. It may occur alongside:
• Feldspar
• Quartz
• Biotite
• Garnet
• Other accessory silicate mineralsDue to its durability, Zircon can also be concentrated in alluvial deposits after being released from its original host rock through weathering. COLLECTING & DISPLAY APPEALZircon is highly regarded among mineral collectors for its crystal form, hardness, and geological importance. The 15–50mm size makes this specimen ideal for:
• Mineral cabinet collections
• Geological study collections
• Crystal morphology displays
• Educational demonstrations
• Collector gift piecesIts durability and classic tetragonal structure make it an attractive addition to both beginner and advanced collections. In some traditions, Zircon is spiritually associated with grounding and clarity; these associations are belief-based rather than scientific. AUTHENTICITY & CAREFUL SELECTIONEach Zircon crystal is individually chosen for structural integrity, visual balance, and display quality. The listing photograph shows an example of the actual specimen you will receive within the stated 15–50mm size range. Please review all images for scale and natural variation.Every specimen is supplied with a Certificate of Authenticity lifetime guarantee generic card, confirming its genuine natural origin from Pakistan.A classic example of zirconium silicate mineral formation, this Pakistani Zircon specimen offers distinctive crystal habit, geological significance, and strong collector appeal in a substantial display size.
