This is a remarkable piece - the colours really are as photographed. The red in the small crystal is as good a red as I have ever seen in a zircon. Both crystals have some colour zoning - the larger one trends to a very pleasant pale colour at the termination. The larger crystal measures 1.1 cm across and 1.7 cm long. Fantastic zircon specimen.
