  • Book Italic
  • Regular Italic
  • Medium Italic
  • Bold Italic
  • Black Italic
  • Ultra Light
    The dark brown to black color observed in most Zircon crystals is caused from iron oxide impurities.
  • Ultra Light Italic
    Minerals can be described by their various physical properties, which are related to their chemical structure and composition.
  • Thin
    The English word “zircon” is derived from “Zirkon”, which is the German adaptation of this word.
  • Thin Italic
    Chemical substitution and coordination polyhedra explain this common feature of minerals.
  • Light
    Australia leads the world in zircon mining, producing 37% of the world total and accounting for 40% of world EDR for the mineral.
  • Light Italic
    Radioactive dating shows that the zircon crystals were formed more than 4 billion years ago.
  • Book
    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.
  • Book Italic
    The name derives from the Persian zargun meaning gold-hued; this word is corrupted into “jargoon”, a term applied to light-colored zircons.
  • Regular
    Commercially valuable minerals and rocks are referred to as industrial minerals.
  • Regular Italic
    Zircon often contains traces of radioactive elements in its structure, which causes it to be metamict.
  • Medium
    Minerals are classified by key chemical constituents; the two dominant systems are the Dana classification and the Strunz classification.
  • Medium Italic
    Minerals 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.
  • Bold
    Yellow, orange and red zircon is also known as “hyacinth”, from the flower hyacinthus, whose name is of Ancient Greek origin.
  • Bold Italic
    Connected to internal radiation damage, these processes partially disrupt the crystal structure and partly explain the highly variable properties of zircon.
  • Black
    Radioactive dating shows that the zircon crystals were formed more than 4 billion years ago.
  • Black Italic
    Commercially valuable minerals and rocks are referred to as industrial minerals.
