- Thin ItalicCurrently, zircons are typically dated by uranium-lead (U-Pb), fission-track, cathodoluminescence, and U+Th/He techniques.
- LightZircon is mainly consumed as an opacifier, and has been known to be used in the decorative ceramics industry.
- Light ItalicResearchers found that same carbon 12 isotope in the diamond specks, indicating that they may have been formed from ancient microbes that were buried deep underground and subjected to enormous pressure.
- BookConnected to internal radiation damage, these processes partially disrupt the crystal structure and partly explain the highly variable properties of zircon.
- Book ItalicThe dark brown to black color observed in most Zircon crystals is caused from iron oxide impurities.
- RegularZircon is mainly consumed as an opacifier, and has been known to be used in the decorative ceramics industry.
- Regular ItalicZircons from Jack Hills in the Narryer Gneiss Terrane, Yilgarn Craton, Western Australia, have yielded U-Pb ages up to 4.404 billion years

- Medium ItalicThe English word “zircon” is derived from “Zirkon”, which is the German adaptation of this word.
- BoldSilicon and oxygen constitute approximately 75% of the Earth’s crust, which translates directly into the predominance of silicate minerals.
