  • Ultra Light
    Commercially valuable minerals and rocks are referred to as industrial minerals.
  • Ultra Light Italic
    Australia leads the world in zircon mining, producing 37% of the world total and accounting for 40% of world EDR for the mineral.
  • Thin
    Zirconium is a mineral belonging to the group of nesosilicates.
  • Thin Italic
    Currently, zircons are typically dated by uranium-lead (U-Pb), fission-track, cathodoluminescence, and U+Th/He techniques.
  • Light
    Zircon is mainly consumed as an opacifier, and has been known to be used in the decorative ceramics industry.
  • Light Italic
    Researchers found that same carbon 12 isotope in the diamond specks, indicating that they may have been formed from ancient microbes that were buried deep underground and subjected to enormous pressure.
  • Book
    Connected to internal radiation damage, these processes partially disrupt the crystal structure and partly explain the highly variable properties of zircon.
  • Book Italic
    The dark brown to black color observed in most Zircon crystals is caused from iron oxide impurities.
  • Regular
    Zircon is mainly consumed as an opacifier, and has been known to be used in the decorative ceramics industry.
  • Regular Italic
    Zircons from Jack Hills in the Narryer Gneiss Terrane, Yilgarn Craton, Western Australia, have yielded U-Pb ages up to 4.404 billion years
  • Medium
    The name derives from the Persian zargun meaning gold-hued; this word is corrupted into “jargoon”, a term applied to light-colored zircons.
  • Medium Italic
    The English word “zircon” is derived from “Zirkon”, which is the German adaptation of this word.
  • Bold
    Silicon and oxygen constitute approximately 75% of the Earth’s crust, which translates directly into the predominance of silicate minerals.
  • Bold Italic
    The name derives from the Persian zargun meaning gold-hued; this word is corrupted into “jargoon”, a term applied to light-colored zircons.
  • Black
    Yellow, orange and red zircon is also known as “hyacinth”, from the flower hyacinthus, whose name is of Ancient Greek origin.
  • Black Italic
    Silicon and oxygen constitute approximately 75% of the Earth’s crust, which translates directly into the predominance of silicate minerals.
