  • Ultra Light
    Connected to internal radiation damage, these processes partially disrupt the crystal structure and partly explain the highly variable properties of zircon.
  • Ultra Light Italic
    The name derives from the Persian zargun meaning gold-hued; this word is corrupted into “jargoon”, a term applied to light-colored zircons.
  • Thin
    Yellow, orange and red zircon is also known as “hyacinth”, from the flower hyacinthus, whose name is of Ancient Greek origin.
  • Thin Italic
    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.
  • Light
    Zirconium is a chemical element with symbol Zr and atomic number 40.
  • Light Italic
    Recent 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.
  • Book
    The English word “zircon” is derived from “Zirkon”, which is the German adaptation of this word.
  • Book Italic
    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.
  • Regular
    Mineral classification schemes and their definitions are evolving to match recent advances in mineral science.
  • Regular Italic
    Radioactive dating shows that the zircon crystals were formed more than 4 billion years ago.
  • Medium
    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 Italic
    The English word “zircon” is derived from “Zirkon”, which is the German adaptation of this word.
  • Bold
    Zircon often contains traces of radioactive elements in its structure, which causes it to be metamict.
  • Bold Italic
    The English word “zircon” is derived from “Zirkon”, which is the German adaptation of this word.
  • Black
    Zircons from Jack Hills in the Narryer Gneiss Terrane, Yilgarn Craton, Western Australia, have yielded U-Pb ages up to 4.404 billion years
  • Black Italic
    Mineral classification schemes and their definitions are evolving to match recent advances in mineral science.
