- Ultra LightConnected to internal radiation damage, these processes partially disrupt the crystal structure and partly explain the highly variable properties of zircon.
- Ultra Light ItalicYellow, orange and red zircon is also known as “hyacinth”, from the flower hyacinthus, whose name is of Ancient Greek origin.
- ThinMinerals can be described by their various physical properties, which are related to their chemical structure and composition.
- Thin ItalicZircon often contains traces of radioactive elements in its structure, which causes it to be metamict.
- LightYellow, orange and red zircon is also known as “hyacinth”, from the flower hyacinthus, whose name is of Ancient Greek origin.
- Light ItalicCrystals are almost always terminated with a pyramidal termination, and may be doubly terminated, and occasionally entirely pyramidal resembling an octahedron.
- BookThe name zircon is taken from the name of the mineral zircon, the most important source of zirconium.
- Book ItalicAs short and stubby crystals, as well as prismatic which are sometimes elongated.
- RegularCurrently, zircons are typically dated by uranium-lead (U-Pb), fission-track, cathodoluminescence, and U+Th/He techniques.
- Regular ItalicZircon is mainly consumed as an opacifier, and has been known to be used in the decorative ceramics industry.
- MediumThe green coloring in many rounded pebbles usually indicates the Zircon is radioactive variety.
- Medium ItalicIn 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.
- BoldMinerals can be described by their various physical properties, which are related to their chemical structure and composition.
- Bold ItalicOn 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.
- BlackThe dark brown to black color observed in most Zircon crystals is caused from iron oxide impurities.
- Black ItalicThe English word “zircon” is derived from “Zirkon”, which is the German adaptation of this word.
