  • Ultra Light
    The dark brown to black color observed in most Zircon crystals is caused from iron oxide impurities.
  • Ultra Light Italic
    Yellow, orange and red zircon is also known as “hyacinth”, from the flower hyacinthus, whose name is of Ancient Greek origin.
  • Thin
    Radioactive dating shows that the zircon crystals were formed more than 4 billion years ago.
  • Thin Italic
    The English word “zircon” is derived from “Zirkon”, which is the German adaptation of this word.
  • 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
    Zircon is a common accessory to trace mineral constituent of most granite and felsic igneous rocks.
  • Book
    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.
  • Book Italic
    Zircon is an important gemstone, with several color forms used in various forms of jewelry.
  • Regular
    Radioactive dating shows that the zircon crystals were formed more than 4 billion years ago.
  • Regular Italic
    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.
  • Medium
    The name zircon is taken from the name of the mineral zircon, the most important source of zirconium.
  • Medium Italic
    The abundance and diversity of minerals is controlled directly by their chemistry, in turn dependent on elemental abundances in the Earth.
  • Bold
    Silicon and oxygen constitute approximately 75% of the Earth’s crust, which translates directly into the predominance of silicate minerals.
  • Bold Italic
    Zirconium is a chemical element with symbol Zr and atomic number 40.
  • Black
    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.
  • Black Italic
    Zircon often contains traces of radioactive elements in its structure, which causes it to be metamict.
