- Ultra LightZircons from Jack Hills in the Narryer Gneiss Terrane, Yilgarn Craton, Western Australia, have yielded U-Pb ages up to 4.404 billion years
- Ultra Light ItalicZircon often contains traces of radioactive elements in its structure, which causes it to be metamict.
- ThinAustralia leads the world in zircon mining, producing 37% of the world total and accounting for 40% of world EDR for the mineral.
- Thin ItalicThe name derives from the Persian zargun meaning gold-hued; this word is corrupted into “jargoon”, a term applied to light-colored zircons.
- LightMineral classification schemes and their definitions are evolving to match recent advances in mineral science.
- Light ItalicZircon is ubiquitous in the crust of Earth and it occurs as a common accessory mineral in igneous rocks, in metamorphic rocks and as detrital grains in sedimentary rocks.
- BookAs short and stubby crystals, as well as prismatic which are sometimes elongated.
- Book ItalicMinerals are classified by key chemical constituents; the two dominant systems are the Dana classification and the Strunz classification.
- RegularThe dark brown to black color observed in most Zircon crystals is caused from iron oxide impurities.
- Regular ItalicZircon often contains traces of radioactive elements in its structure, which causes it to be metamict.
- MediumMineral classification schemes and their definitions are evolving to match recent advances in mineral science.
- Medium ItalicAn interesting habit occasionally exhibited in Zircon from a few localities is that their color darkens and their luster dulls upon prolonged exposure to sunlight.
- BoldZircon is mainly consumed as an opacifier, and has been known to be used in the decorative ceramics industry.
- Bold ItalicZircon is mainly consumed as an opacifier, and has been known to be used in the decorative ceramics industry.
- BlackChemical substitution and coordination polyhedra explain this common feature of minerals.
- Black ItalicCrystals are almost always terminated with a pyramidal termination, and may be doubly terminated, and occasionally entirely pyramidal resembling an octahedron.
