  • Ultra Light Italic
  • Thin Italic
  • Light Italic
  • Book Italic
  • Regular Italic
  • Medium Italic
  • Bold Italic
  • Black Italic
  • Ultra Light
    Radioactive dating shows that the zircon crystals were formed more than 4 billion years ago.
  • Ultra Light Italic
    Crystals are almost always terminated with a pyramidal termination, and may be doubly terminated, and occasionally entirely pyramidal resembling an octahedron.
  • Thin
    Zircon is a common accessory to trace mineral constituent of most granite and felsic igneous rocks.
  • Thin Italic
    Zircon is mainly consumed as an opacifier, and has been known to be used in the decorative ceramics industry.
  • Light
    The abundance and diversity of minerals is controlled directly by their chemistry, in turn dependent on elemental abundances in the Earth.
  • Light Italic
    Yellow, orange and red zircon is also known as “hyacinth”, from the flower hyacinthus, whose name is of Ancient Greek origin.
  • Book
    Currently, zircons are typically dated by uranium-lead (U-Pb), fission-track, cathodoluminescence, and U+Th/He techniques.
  • Book Italic
    Zircons from Jack Hills in the Narryer Gneiss Terrane, Yilgarn Craton, Western Australia, have yielded U-Pb ages up to 4.404 billion years
  • Regular
    Currently, zircons are typically dated by uranium-lead (U-Pb), fission-track, cathodoluminescence, and U+Th/He techniques.
  • Regular Italic
    Radioactive dating shows that the zircon crystals were formed more than 4 billion years ago.
  • Medium
    As short and stubby crystals, as well as prismatic which are sometimes elongated.
  • Medium Italic
    Scientists then studied the diamonds’ composition, looking specifically at their carbon isotopes.
  • Bold
    The dark brown to black color observed in most Zircon crystals is caused from iron oxide impurities.
  • Bold Italic
    The abundance and diversity of minerals is controlled directly by their chemistry, in turn dependent on elemental abundances in the Earth.
  • Black
    Australia leads the world in zircon mining, producing 37% of the world total and accounting for 40% of world EDR for the mineral.
  • Black Italic
    New York University chemists have created three-dimensional DNA structures, a breakthrough bridging the molecular world to the world where we live.
