  • Ultra Light
    Commercially valuable minerals and rocks are referred to as industrial minerals.
  • Ultra Light Italic
    As short and stubby crystals, as well as prismatic which are sometimes elongated.
  • Thin
    Yellow, orange and red zircon is also known as “hyacinth”, from the flower hyacinthus, whose name is of Ancient Greek origin.
  • Thin Italic
    Radioactive dating shows that the zircon crystals were formed more than 4 billion years ago.
  • Light
    Zircon is an important gemstone, with several color forms used in various forms of jewelry.
  • Light 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.

  • Book Italic
    Manly P. Hall and other students of esoteric wisdom have also noted that many ancient crystals were produced by ‘zodiacal formulae’ grown at specific times, when the sun, moon and planets were in special heavenly positions.
  • Regular
    In crystal growth, combinations of light intensity, light color, electric current, sound, the direction of these, plus the shape and size (frequency pattern) of the container or room, will all affect the final characteristics and energy potentials of a desired stone.
  • Regular Italic
    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
    Chemical substitution and coordination polyhedra explain this common feature of minerals.
  • Medium Italic
    The English word “zircon” is derived from “Zirkon”, which is the German adaptation of this word.
  • Bold
    Crystals are almost always terminated with a pyramidal termination, and may be doubly terminated, and occasionally entirely pyramidal resembling an octahedron.
  • Bold Italic
    Zircon often contains traces of radioactive elements in its structure, which causes it to be metamict.
  • Black
    The name zircon is taken from the name of the mineral zircon, the most important source of zirconium.
  • Black Italic
    The dark brown to black color observed in most Zircon crystals is caused from iron oxide impurities.
