ID 60012
Zircon in Biotite from the classic location in Store Kufjord, Seiland, Finnmark, Norway
Size: 54x72x50 mm (252 gr.)
 
Here is a perfect crystal on 21 mm with beautiful red shine, razor sharp edges and clean facets. There is a crack in the biggest crystal, but anyway it is one of the best I have for sale.
On the pictures it can look like damage, but it is really just natural marks after biotite.
 
In addition there is a couple of smaller crystals (the biggest of them 11 mm).
All pictures and the video are taken in normal indoor daylight without any extra light.

Zircons from Seiland are by far the world greatest because of their deep orange/red color with transparent and gemmy areas.
 
The zircons are yellow SW and LW UV fluorescence.
 
The specimen was found late in the late 1990's by my father, Gunnar Mathisen.
