Zircon Crystal Pakistan Natural Tetragonal Mineral Specimen 15-50mm Genuine Collector Display Stone with Certificate

Description Zircon – Natural Crystal Specimen from Pakistan This 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 Composition Zircon is a zirconium silicate mineral with the chemical formula: ZrSiO₄ It 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: Indistinct Zircon 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 Features Zircon 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 faces The 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 & Locality Zircon 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 minerals Due to its durability, Zircon can also be concentrated in alluvial deposits after being released from its original host rock through weathering. Collecting & Display Appeal Zircon 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 pieces Its 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 Selection Each 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.
