  • Ultra Light
    Cursed gems are the exception to the rule, however, for in most respects, gems and crystals are generally looked upon favorably, having properties for good luck, for healing, and in aiding in psychic abilities.
  • Ultra Light Italic
    Crystals are almost always terminated with a pyramidal termination, and may be doubly terminated, and occasionally entirely pyramidal resembling an octahedron.
  • Thin
    Some rocks, such as limestone or quartzite, are composed primarily of one mineral—calcite or aragonite in the case of limestone, and quartz in the latter case.
  • Thin Italic
    Zircon is an important gemstone, with several color forms used in various forms of jewelry.
  • Light
    Australia leads the world in zircon mining, producing 37% of the world total and accounting for 40% of world EDR for the mineral.
  • 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.
  • Book
    The abundance and diversity of minerals is controlled directly by their chemistry, in turn dependent on elemental abundances in the Earth.
  • Book Italic
    Some rocks, such as limestone or quartzite, are composed primarily of one mineral—calcite or aragonite in the case of limestone, and quartz in the latter case.
  • Regular
    Crystals are almost always terminated with a pyramidal termination, and may be doubly terminated, and occasionally entirely pyramidal resembling an octahedron.
  • Regular Italic
    Currently, zircons are typically dated by uranium-lead (U-Pb), fission-track, cathodoluminescence, and U+Th/He techniques.
  • Medium
    As short and stubby crystals, as well as prismatic which are sometimes elongated.
  • Medium Italic
    Connected to internal radiation damage, these processes partially disrupt the crystal structure and partly explain the highly variable properties of zircon.
  • Bold
    The name derives from the Persian zargun meaning gold-hued; this word is corrupted into “jargoon”, a term applied to light-colored zircons.
  • Bold Italic
    On the Isle of Skye near Ireland, is a chapel dedicated to St. Columbus, and on the altar is a round crystalline blue stone held sacred to weather and health.
  • Black
    Crystals are almost always terminated with a pyramidal termination, and may be doubly terminated, and occasionally entirely pyramidal resembling an octahedron.
  • Black Italic
    The English word “zircon” is derived from “Zirkon”, which is the German adaptation of this word.
