- Ultra LightThe name derives from the Persian zargun meaning gold-hued; this word is corrupted into “jargoon”, a term applied to light-colored zircons.
- Ultra Light ItalicThe English word “zircon” is derived from “Zirkon”, which is the German adaptation of this word.
- ThinZircon is an important gemstone, with several color forms used in various forms of jewelry.
- Thin ItalicCursed 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.
- LightThe dark brown to black color observed in most Zircon crystals is caused from iron oxide impurities.
- Light ItalicRadioactive dating shows that the zircon crystals were formed more than 4 billion years ago.
- BookChemical substitution and coordination polyhedra explain this common feature of minerals.
- 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.
- RegularYellow, orange and red zircon is also known as “hyacinth”, from the flower hyacinthus, whose name is of Ancient Greek origin.
- Regular ItalicMinerals can be described by their various physical properties, which are related to their chemical structure and composition.
- MediumRecent experiments, for example, have shown that crystals grow five times faster when their supersaturated solution is subjected to frequencies of 10 to 100 cycles a second.
- Medium ItalicZircon is a common accessory to trace mineral constituent of most granite and felsic igneous rocks.
- BoldZircon is an important gemstone, with several color forms used in various forms of jewelry.
- Bold ItalicThe abundance and diversity of minerals is controlled directly by their chemistry, in turn dependent on elemental abundances in the Earth.
- BlackYellow, orange and red zircon is also known as “hyacinth”, from the flower hyacinthus, whose name is of Ancient Greek origin.
- Black ItalicConnected to internal radiation damage, these processes partially disrupt the crystal structure and partly explain the highly variable properties of zircon.
