  • Ultra Light
    Yellow, orange and red zircon is also known as “hyacinth”, from the flower hyacinthus, whose name is of Ancient Greek origin.
  • Ultra Light Italic
    The abundance and diversity of minerals is controlled directly by their chemistry, in turn dependent on elemental abundances in the Earth.
  • Thin
    An interesting habit occasionally exhibited in Zircon from a few localities is that their color darkens and their luster dulls upon prolonged exposure to sunlight.
  • Thin Italic
    As short and stubby crystals, as well as prismatic which are sometimes elongated.
  • Light
    An interesting habit occasionally exhibited in Zircon from a few localities is that their color darkens and their luster dulls upon prolonged exposure to sunlight.
  • Light Italic
    Minerals are classified by key chemical constituents; the two dominant systems are the Dana classification and the Strunz classification.
  • Book
    Zircon often contains traces of radioactive elements in its structure, which causes it to be metamict.
  • Book Italic
    Zirconium is a chemical element with symbol Zr and atomic number 40.
  • Regular
    Silicon and oxygen constitute approximately 75% of the Earth’s crust, which translates directly into the predominance of silicate minerals.
  • 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
    Minerals are distinguished by various chemical and physical properties. Differences in chemical composition and crystal structure distinguish the various species, which were determined by the mineral’s geological environment when formed.
  • Medium Italic
    The English word “zircon” is derived from “Zirkon”, which is the German adaptation of this word.
  • Bold
    Currently, zircons are typically dated by uranium-lead (U-Pb), fission-track, cathodoluminescence, and U+Th/He techniques.
  • 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
    The name zircon is taken from the name of the mineral zircon, the most important source of zirconium.
  • Black Italic
    Zircon often contains traces of radioactive elements in its structure, which causes it to be metamict.
