  • Black Italic
  • Ultra Light
    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.
  • Ultra Light Italic
    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.
  • Thin
    Mineral classification schemes and their definitions are evolving to match recent advances in mineral science.
  • Thin Italic
    Some rocks, such as limestone or quartzite, are composed primarily of one mineral—calcite or aragonite in the case of limestone, and quartz in the latter case.
  • Light
    Zircon is mainly consumed as an opacifier, and has been known to be used in the decorative ceramics industry.
  • Light Italic
    The green coloring in many rounded pebbles usually indicates the Zircon is radioactive variety.
  • Book
    Minerals are classified by key chemical constituents; the two dominant systems are the Dana classification and the Strunz classification.
  • Book Italic
    Radioactive dating shows that the zircon crystals were formed more than 4 billion years ago.
  • Regular
    Zircons from Jack Hills in the Narryer Gneiss Terrane, Yilgarn Craton, Western Australia, have yielded U-Pb ages up to 4.404 billion years
  • Regular Italic
    Australia leads the world in zircon mining, producing 37% of the world total and accounting for 40% of world EDR for the mineral.
  • Medium
    Chemical substitution and coordination polyhedra explain this common feature of minerals.
  • Medium 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.
  • Bold
    The name derives from the Persian zargun meaning gold-hued; this word is corrupted into “jargoon”, a term applied to light-colored zircons.
  • Bold Italic
    Zirconium is a chemical element with symbol Zr and atomic number 40.
  • Black
    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.
  • Black Italic
    Radioactive dating shows that the zircon crystals were formed more than 4 billion years ago.
