  • Ultra Light
    The English word “zircon” is derived from “Zirkon”, which is the German adaptation of this word.
  • Ultra Light Italic
    Zirconium is a mineral belonging to the group of nesosilicates.
  • Thin
    The dark brown to black color observed in most Zircon crystals is caused from iron oxide impurities.
  • Thin 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.
  • Light
    Minerals can be described by their various physical properties, which are related to their chemical structure and composition.
  • Light Italic
    As short and stubby crystals, as well as prismatic which are sometimes elongated.
  • Book
    Australia leads the world in zircon mining, producing 37% of the world total and accounting for 40% of world EDR for the mineral.
  • Book Italic
    The abundance and diversity of minerals is controlled directly by their chemistry, in turn dependent on elemental abundances in the Earth.
  • Regular
    Crystals are almost always terminated with a pyramidal termination, and may be doubly terminated, and occasionally entirely pyramidal resembling an octahedron.
  • Regular 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.
  • Medium
    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.
  • Medium Italic
    The abundance and diversity of minerals is controlled directly by their chemistry, in turn dependent on elemental abundances in the Earth.
  • Bold
    Crystals are almost always terminated with a pyramidal termination, and may be doubly terminated, and occasionally entirely pyramidal resembling an octahedron.
  • Bold Italic
    The name zircon is taken from the name of the mineral zircon, the most important source of zirconium.
  • Black
    Commercially valuable minerals and rocks are referred to as industrial minerals.
  • Black Italic
    Minerals are classified by key chemical constituents; the two dominant systems are the Dana classification and the Strunz classification.
