- Ultra LightThe name derives from the Persian zargun meaning gold-hued; this word is corrupted into “jargoon”, a term applied to light-colored zircons.
- Ultra Light ItalicCommercially valuable minerals and rocks are referred to as industrial minerals.
- ThinSilicon and oxygen constitute approximately 75% of the Earth’s crust, which translates directly into the predominance of silicate minerals.
- Thin ItalicThe green coloring in many rounded pebbles usually indicates the Zircon is radioactive variety.
- LightYellow, orange and red zircon is also known as “hyacinth”, from the flower hyacinthus, whose name is of Ancient Greek origin.
- Light ItalicMinerals are distinguished by various chemical and physical properties. Differences in chemical composition and crystal structure distinguish the various species, which were determined by the mineral’s geological environment when formed.
- BookMineral classification schemes and their definitions are evolving to match recent advances in mineral science.
- Book ItalicAustralia leads the world in zircon mining, producing 37% of the world total and accounting for 40% of world EDR for the mineral.
- RegularCurrently, zircons are typically dated by uranium-lead (U-Pb), fission-track, cathodoluminescence, and U+Th/He techniques.
- Regular ItalicMinerals are distinguished by various chemical and physical properties. Differences in chemical composition and crystal structure distinguish the various species, which were determined by the mineral’s geological environment when formed.
- MediumYellow, orange and red zircon is also known as “hyacinth”, from the flower hyacinthus, whose name is of Ancient Greek origin.
- Medium ItalicChemical substitution and coordination polyhedra explain this common feature of minerals.
- BoldIn 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.
- Bold ItalicZircon is an important gemstone, with several color forms used in various forms of jewelry.
- BlackZircon often contains traces of radioactive elements in its structure, which causes it to be metamict.
- Black ItalicZircon is mainly consumed as an opacifier, and has been known to be used in the decorative ceramics industry.
