  • Bold Italic
  • Black Italic
  • Ultra Light
    The English word “zircon” is derived from “Zirkon”, which is the German adaptation of this word.
  • Ultra Light Italic
    The name zircon is taken from the name of the mineral zircon, the most important source of zirconium.
  • Thin
    Connected to internal radiation damage, these processes partially disrupt the crystal structure and partly explain the highly variable properties of zircon.
  • Thin Italic
    Mineral classification schemes and their definitions are evolving to match recent advances in mineral science.
  • Light
    Researchers found that same carbon 12 isotope in the diamond specks, indicating that they may have been formed from ancient microbes that were buried deep underground and subjected to enormous pressure.
  • 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.
  • Book
    Researchers found that same carbon 12 isotope in the diamond specks, indicating that they may have been formed from ancient microbes that were buried deep underground and subjected to enormous pressure.
  • Book Italic
    Yellow, orange and red zircon is also known as “hyacinth”, from the flower hyacinthus, whose name is of Ancient Greek origin.
  • Regular
    The English word “zircon” is derived from “Zirkon”, which is the German adaptation of this word.
  • Regular Italic
    The dark brown to black color observed in most Zircon crystals is caused from iron oxide impurities.
  • Medium
    Scientists then studied the diamonds’ composition, looking specifically at their carbon isotopes.
  • Medium Italic
    The abundance and diversity of minerals is controlled directly by their chemistry, in turn dependent on elemental abundances in the Earth.
  • Bold
    Researchers found that same carbon 12 isotope in the diamond specks, indicating that they may have been formed from ancient microbes that were buried deep underground and subjected to enormous pressure.
  • Bold Italic
    Radioactive dating shows that the zircon crystals were formed more than 4 billion years ago.
  • Black
    Zircon is an important gemstone, with several color forms used in various forms of jewelry.
  • Black Italic
    The green coloring in many rounded pebbles usually indicates the Zircon is radioactive variety.
