Zircon comes in a variety of colors, including blue, yellow, green, brown, and red, and is renowned for its exceptional brilliance.  It is found in many locations worldwide, including Sri Lanka, Myanmar, Cambodia, and Australia. Some of the oldest zircon crystals have been dated to be over 4 billion years old, making them among the oldest minerals on Earth.

Zircon has a hardness of 6.5 to 7.5 on the Mohs scale, making it durable enough for use in various types of jewelry. However, care should be taken to avoid sharp blows and extreme temperatures.

Zircon is associated with promoting spiritual growth, mental clarity, and prosperity. It is also thought to enhance self-confidence and provide protection.

It's important to note the distinction between natural zircon and cubic zirconia. Natural zircon is a genuine gemstone, while cubic zirconia is a synthetic material often used as a diamond simulant.

Samarskite is a radioactive rare earth mineral. Samarskite crystallizes in the orthorhombic – dipyramidal class as black to yellowish brown stubby prisms although it is typically found as anhedral masses. Specimens with a high uranium content are typically metamict and appear coated with a yellow brown earthy rind.

Samarskite-(Y) is rich in rare earth elements (REEs), niobium (Nb), and tantalum (Ta)—all of which are valuable in advanced electronics, alloys, and green energy technologies. The mineral can also contain trace amounts of uranium and thorium, which may cause it to be slightly radioactive.

Due to its uranium content, samarskite-(Y) is considered radioactive. It's recommended to wash hands after handling and avoid inhaling dust when breaking or handling the mineral. 

This specimen is in very good condition and displays very well.  Make this a special specimen in your collection.
