All of the 'other' colors of Zircon are enjoying some long overdue recognition, with green foremost among them. There is actually quite a range for the greens of this species and this one is the absolute classic definition of these - a kind of ‘forest’ green with a lovely tone and fine brilliance. Even further, the slightly eye visible ‘lines’ are evidence of the metamict structure of these. A textbook gem in a very fine larger size and quite lovely.
