    Australia leads the world in zircon mining, producing 37% of the world total and accounting for 40% of world EDR for the mineral.
  • Ultra Light Italic
    Zircon is a common accessory to trace mineral constituent of most granite and felsic igneous rocks.
  • Thin
    Zircons from Jack Hills in the Narryer Gneiss Terrane, Yilgarn Craton, Western Australia, have yielded U-Pb ages up to 4.404 billion years
  • Thin Italic
    The English word “zircon” is derived from “Zirkon”, which is the German adaptation of this word.
  • Light
    The English word “zircon” is derived from “Zirkon”, which is the German adaptation of this word.
  • Light Italic
    The abundance and diversity of minerals is controlled directly by their chemistry, in turn dependent on elemental abundances in the Earth.
  • Book
    Minerals are classified by key chemical constituents; the two dominant systems are the Dana classification and the Strunz classification.
  • Book Italic
    Minerals are classified by key chemical constituents; the two dominant systems are the Dana classification and the Strunz classification.
  • Regular
    The name zircon is taken from the name of the mineral zircon, the most important source of zirconium.
  • Regular Italic
    Cursed gems are the exception to the rule, however, for in most respects, gems and crystals are generally looked upon favorably, having properties for good luck, for healing, and in aiding in psychic abilities.
  • Medium
    Yellow, orange and red zircon is also known as “hyacinth”, from the flower hyacinthus, whose name is of Ancient Greek origin.
  • Medium Italic
    Some rocks, such as limestone or quartzite, are composed primarily of one mineral—calcite or aragonite in the case of limestone, and quartz in the latter case.
  • Bold
    The name zircon is taken from the name of the mineral zircon, the most important source of zirconium.
  • Bold Italic
    Zircon is mainly consumed as an opacifier, and has been known to be used in the decorative ceramics industry.
  • Black
    Crystals are almost always terminated with a pyramidal termination, and may be doubly terminated, and occasionally entirely pyramidal resembling an octahedron.
  • Black Italic
    Minerals can be described by their various physical properties, which are related to their chemical structure and composition.
