  • Book Italic
  • Regular Italic
  • Medium Italic
  • Bold Italic
  • Black Italic
  • Ultra Light
    The name derives from the Persian zargun meaning gold-hued; this word is corrupted into “jargoon”, a term applied to light-colored zircons.
  • Ultra Light Italic
    Minerals are classified by key chemical constituents; the two dominant systems are the Dana classification and the Strunz classification.
  • Thin
    The abundance and diversity of minerals is controlled directly by their chemistry, in turn dependent on elemental abundances in the Earth.
  • Thin Italic
    Zircon 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
    Silicon and oxygen constitute approximately 75% of the Earth’s crust, which translates directly into the predominance of silicate minerals.
  • Light Italic
    Commercially valuable minerals and rocks are referred to as industrial minerals.
  • Book
    Connected to internal radiation damage, these processes partially disrupt the crystal structure and partly explain the highly variable properties of zircon.
  • 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
    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 Italic
    Mineral classification schemes and their definitions are evolving to match recent advances in mineral science.
  • Medium
    The green coloring in many rounded pebbles usually indicates the Zircon is radioactive variety.
  • Medium Italic
    Minerals can be described by their various physical properties, which are related to their chemical structure and composition.
  • Bold
    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.
  • 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
    As short and stubby crystals, as well as prismatic which are sometimes elongated.
  • Black Italic
    Commercially valuable minerals and rocks are referred to as industrial minerals.
