  • Ultra Light
    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.
  • Ultra Light Italic
    The green coloring in many rounded pebbles usually indicates the Zircon is radioactive variety.
  • Thin
    Crystals are almost always terminated with a pyramidal termination, and may be doubly terminated, and occasionally entirely pyramidal resembling an octahedron.
  • Thin Italic
    The English word “zircon” is derived from “Zirkon”, which is the German adaptation of this word.
  • Light
    An interesting habit occasionally exhibited in Zircon from a few localities is that their color darkens and their luster dulls upon prolonged exposure to sunlight.
  • Light Italic
    Crystals are almost always terminated with a pyramidal termination, and may be doubly terminated, and occasionally entirely pyramidal resembling an octahedron.
  • Book
    New York University chemists have created three-dimensional DNA structures, a breakthrough bridging the molecular world to the world where we live.
  • Book Italic
    The English word “zircon” is derived from “Zirkon”, which is the German adaptation of this word.
  • 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
    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.
  • Medium
    Zircon is mainly consumed as an opacifier, and has been known to be used in the decorative ceramics industry.
  • Medium Italic
    As short and stubby crystals, as well as prismatic which are sometimes elongated.
  • Bold
    Connected to internal radiation damage, these processes partially disrupt the crystal structure and partly explain the highly variable properties of zircon.
  • Bold Italic
    Mineral classification schemes and their definitions are evolving to match recent advances in mineral science.
  • Black
    Zircon often contains traces of radioactive elements in its structure, which causes it to be metamict.
  • Black Italic
    Minerals can be described by their various physical properties, which are related to their chemical structure and composition.
