- Ultra LightRadioactive dating shows that the zircon crystals were formed more than 4 billion years ago.
- Ultra Light ItalicThe dark brown to black color observed in most Zircon crystals is caused from iron oxide impurities.
- ThinScientists then studied the diamonds’ composition, looking specifically at their carbon isotopes.
- Thin ItalicZirconium is a chemical element with symbol Zr and atomic number 40.
- LightCurrently, zircons are typically dated by uranium-lead (U-Pb), fission-track, cathodoluminescence, and U+Th/He techniques.
- Light ItalicRecent experiments, for example, have shown that crystals grow five times faster when their supersaturated solution is subjected to frequencies of 10 to 100 cycles a second.
- BookZircons from Jack Hills in the Narryer Gneiss Terrane, Yilgarn Craton, Western Australia, have yielded U-Pb ages up to 4.404 billion years
- Book ItalicZircon often contains traces of radioactive elements in its structure, which causes it to be metamict.
- RegularZircon is mainly consumed as an opacifier, and has been known to be used in the decorative ceramics industry.
- Regular ItalicZircon is ubiquitous in the crust of Earth and it occurs as a common accessory mineral in igneous rocks, in metamorphic rocks and as detrital grains in sedimentary rocks.
- MediumZircon is a common accessory to trace mineral constituent of most granite and felsic igneous rocks.
- Medium ItalicCursed 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.
- BoldCrystals are almost always terminated with a pyramidal termination, and may be doubly terminated, and occasionally entirely pyramidal resembling an octahedron.
- Bold ItalicSome 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.
- BlackZircon often contains traces of radioactive elements in its structure, which causes it to be metamict.
- Black ItalicOn 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.
