- Ultra LightThe name zircon is taken from the name of the mineral zircon, the most important source of zirconium.
- Ultra Light ItalicRadioactive dating shows that the zircon crystals were formed more than 4 billion years ago.
- ThinThe name zircon is taken from the name of the mineral zircon, the most important source of zirconium.
- Thin ItalicZirconium is a mineral belonging to the group of nesosilicates.
- LightManly P. Hall and other students of esoteric wisdom have also noted that many ancient crystals were produced by ‘zodiacal formulae’ grown at specific times, when the sun, moon and planets were in special heavenly positions.
- Light ItalicZircon often contains traces of radioactive elements in its structure, which causes it to be metamict.
- BookZircon is a common accessory to trace mineral constituent of most granite and felsic igneous rocks.
- Book ItalicCurrently, zircons are typically dated by uranium-lead (U-Pb), fission-track, cathodoluminescence, and U+Th/He techniques.
- RegularZircon is an important gemstone, with several color forms used in various forms of jewelry.
- Regular ItalicZircon is mainly consumed as an opacifier, and has been known to be used in the decorative ceramics industry.
- MediumNew York University chemists have created three-dimensional DNA structures, a breakthrough bridging the molecular world to the world where we live.
- Medium ItalicZircon is an important gemstone, with several color forms used in various forms of jewelry.
- BoldCrystals are almost always terminated with a pyramidal termination, and may be doubly terminated, and occasionally entirely pyramidal resembling an octahedron.
- Bold ItalicConnected to internal radiation damage, these processes partially disrupt the crystal structure and partly explain the highly variable properties of zircon.
- BlackThe name derives from the Persian zargun meaning gold-hued; this word is corrupted into “jargoon”, a term applied to light-colored zircons.
- Black ItalicSilicon and oxygen constitute approximately 75% of the Earth’s crust, which translates directly into the predominance of silicate minerals.
