Very interesting specimen of blue zircon in a historical glass ampoule. It comes with a label as shown, with the year of discovery of 1931 is written next to the region of discovery. This specimen comes from an old collection.

Length of capsule around 4 cm. The zircon measures around 1 cm in length.

Note: It is known that these crystals have been "fired" at high temperatures to produce this blue colour from presumably colourless or pale yellow zircon.
