- Ultra LightThe abundance and diversity of minerals is controlled directly by their chemistry, in turn dependent on elemental abundances in the Earth.
- Ultra Light ItalicChemical substitution and coordination polyhedra explain this common feature of minerals.
- ThinMinerals can be described by their various physical properties, which are related to their chemical structure and composition.
- Thin ItalicThe English word “zircon” is derived from “Zirkon”, which is the German adaptation of this word.
- LightZirconium is a chemical element with symbol Zr and atomic number 40.
- Light ItalicManly P. Hall and other students of esoteric wisdom have also noted that many ancient crystals were produced by ‘zodiacal formulae’ grown at specific times, when the sun, moon and planets were in special heavenly positions.
- 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.
- RegularMinerals can be described by their various physical properties, which are related to their chemical structure and composition.
- Regular ItalicZircons from Jack Hills in the Narryer Gneiss Terrane, Yilgarn Craton, Western Australia, have yielded U-Pb ages up to 4.404 billion years
- MediumZircon often contains traces of radioactive elements in its structure, which causes it to be metamict.
- Medium ItalicZircon is a common accessory to trace mineral constituent of most granite and felsic igneous rocks.
- BoldCrystals are almost always terminated with a pyramidal termination, and may be doubly terminated, and occasionally entirely pyramidal resembling an octahedron.
- Bold ItalicThe name zircon is taken from the name of the mineral zircon, the most important source of zirconium.
- BlackCurrently, zircons are typically dated by uranium-lead (U-Pb), fission-track, cathodoluminescence, and U+Th/He techniques.
- Black 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.
