  • Ultra 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.
  • 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
    Crystals are almost always terminated with a pyramidal termination, and may be doubly terminated, and occasionally entirely pyramidal resembling an octahedron.
  • Thin Italic
    Australia leads the world in zircon mining, producing 37% of the world total and accounting for 40% of world EDR for the mineral.
  • Light
    Zirconium is a chemical element with symbol Zr and atomic number 40.
  • Light Italic
    Currently, zircons are typically dated by uranium-lead (U-Pb), fission-track, cathodoluminescence, and U+Th/He techniques.
  • Book
    Zircon is an important gemstone, with several color forms used in various forms of jewelry.
  • Book Italic
    Mineral classification schemes and their definitions are evolving to match recent advances in mineral science.
  • Regular
    The English word “zircon” is derived from “Zirkon”, which is the German adaptation of this word.
  • 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
    Crystals are almost always terminated with a pyramidal termination, and may be doubly terminated, and occasionally entirely pyramidal resembling an octahedron.
  • Medium Italic
    Yellow, orange and red zircon is also known as “hyacinth”, from the flower hyacinthus, whose name is of Ancient Greek origin.
  • Bold
    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.
  • Bold Italic
    Minerals can be described by their various physical properties, which are related to their chemical structure and composition.
  • Black
    Scientists then studied the diamonds’ composition, looking specifically at their carbon isotopes.
  • Black Italic
    Zircons from Jack Hills in the Narryer Gneiss Terrane, Yilgarn Craton, Western Australia, have yielded U-Pb ages up to 4.404 billion years
