- Ultra LightAustralia leads the world in zircon mining, producing 37% of the world total and accounting for 40% of world EDR for the mineral.
- Ultra Light ItalicZircon is a common accessory to trace mineral constituent of most granite and felsic igneous rocks.
- ThinCommercially valuable minerals and rocks are referred to as industrial minerals.
- Thin ItalicRecent 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.
- LightZircon is mainly consumed as an opacifier, and has been known to be used in the decorative ceramics industry.
- Light ItalicThe name derives from the Persian zargun meaning gold-hued; this word is corrupted into “jargoon”, a term applied to light-colored zircons.

- RegularNew York University chemists have created three-dimensional DNA structures, a breakthrough bridging the molecular world to the world where we live.
- Regular ItalicOn 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.
- MediumThe green coloring in many rounded pebbles usually indicates the Zircon is radioactive variety.
- Medium ItalicZircons from Jack Hills in the Narryer Gneiss Terrane, Yilgarn Craton, Western Australia, have yielded U-Pb ages up to 4.404 billion years
- BoldZircon is mainly consumed as an opacifier, and has been known to be used in the decorative ceramics industry.
- Bold ItalicZircon often contains traces of radioactive elements in its structure, which causes it to be metamict.
- BlackZircons from Jack Hills in the Narryer Gneiss Terrane, Yilgarn Craton, Western Australia, have yielded U-Pb ages up to 4.404 billion years
- Black ItalicRadioactive dating shows that the zircon crystals were formed more than 4 billion years ago.
