Remarkable unheated zircon crystal from Ratanakiri Province, Cambodia, with a natural deep reddish to cognac tone and a glossy, well-formed crystal shape.
Most Cambodian zircon is heated to produce the familiar bright blue color, which makes an unheated crystal like this especially interesting as a “before” example. Ideal as a standout collector specimen on its own, or displayed alongside a blue Cambodian zircon to illustrate how dramatically heat treatment can change zircon’s color
