- ThinChemical substitution and coordination polyhedra explain this common feature of minerals.
- Thin ItalicAn interesting habit occasionally exhibited in Zircon from a few localities is that their color darkens and their luster dulls upon prolonged exposure to sunlight.

- BookZircon often contains traces of radioactive elements in its structure, which causes it to be metamict.
- Book ItalicZircon is mainly consumed as an opacifier, and has been known to be used in the decorative ceramics industry.
- RegularRadioactive dating shows that the zircon crystals were formed more than 4 billion years ago.
- Regular ItalicZircon is an important gemstone, with several color forms used in various forms of jewelry.
- MediumZircon is a common accessory to trace mineral constituent of most granite and felsic igneous rocks.
- Medium ItalicAn interesting habit occasionally exhibited in Zircon from a few localities is that their color darkens and their luster dulls upon prolonged exposure to sunlight.
- BoldConnected to internal radiation damage, these processes partially disrupt the crystal structure and partly explain the highly variable properties of zircon.
- Bold ItalicCrystals are almost always terminated with a pyramidal termination, and may be doubly terminated, and occasionally entirely pyramidal resembling an octahedron.
- BlackSome 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.
- Black ItalicAustralia leads the world in zircon mining, producing 37% of the world total and accounting for 40% of world EDR for the mineral.
