- Ultra LightAn interesting habit occasionally exhibited in Zircon from a few localities is that their color darkens and their luster dulls upon prolonged exposure to sunlight.
- Ultra Light ItalicThe name derives from the Persian zargun meaning gold-hued; this word is corrupted into “jargoon”, a term applied to light-colored zircons.
- ThinZirconium is a chemical element with symbol Zr and atomic number 40.
- Thin ItalicThe English word “zircon” is derived from “Zirkon”, which is the German adaptation of this word.
- LightZircon 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.
- Light ItalicCrystals are almost always terminated with a pyramidal termination, and may be doubly terminated, and occasionally entirely pyramidal resembling an octahedron.
- BookMinerals are classified by key chemical constituents; the two dominant systems are the Dana classification and the Strunz classification.
- Book 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.
- RegularNew York University chemists have created three-dimensional DNA structures, a breakthrough bridging the molecular world to the world where we live.
- Regular ItalicThe name derives from the Persian zargun meaning gold-hued; this word is corrupted into “jargoon”, a term applied to light-colored zircons.
- MediumNew York University chemists have created three-dimensional DNA structures, a breakthrough bridging the molecular world to the world where we live.
- Medium ItalicRadioactive dating shows that the zircon crystals were formed more than 4 billion years ago.
- BoldZircon 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.
- Bold ItalicSilicon and oxygen constitute approximately 75% of the Earth’s crust, which translates directly into the predominance of silicate minerals.
- BlackCursed 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.
- Black ItalicMineral classification schemes and their definitions are evolving to match recent advances in mineral science.
